Needing new Primary Chain Tensioner for CB750 project
« on: December 11, 2008, 05:04:06 PM »
I've searched here to no significant result. Any suggestions other than OEM? I thought M3 had one but I looked at their site with no result.

I'm happy to use a new OEM, but thought I would ask. Am cost conscious, OEM around $80.

M3 has a modern cam chain tensioner. Works OK. I've had one in my bike for over 3 years.

Yes I saw that looking for the Primary Tensioner. May go that way. I'll definitely use a HD cam chain.

Any comments on the Primary Tensioner?
