Chain Tensioner

[Turtle Tim]

Just ordered a Weller Racing chain tensioner for my XP1K. Been rattling on start up for a while now, and I am long overdue to do this.
Weller has good feedback from what I read. And they have them on sale right now for $129.
How many of you have changed out your chain tensioner?

I have the Boondocker and it was very easy to install .

Most of the guys around here run the boondocker but I imagine there all similar

Defiantly a worthwhile mod!!

Saw a video on the Weller, and it is a stock tensioner and they just put a stronger spring in it. Doesnt matter to me as long as it works.

I agree with you Tim !! I already have purchase a Boondocker but haven't installed it yet .

So these are to resolve the rattle noise when starting after sitting a while ?

yes, and it could be possible for the timing chain to jump and do serious damage to the engine.
Also, NEVER turn your primary clutch clockwise. There have been several reports of people turning it clockwise and the timing chain jumps.
(I turned mine clockwise several times and lucked out)

From what I understand after you install the new tensioner you don't have to worry about what way you turn the motor !! Is this true or i'm I miss understanding some thing ??

[Turtle Tim]

Good question Ed. I would assume that if the tensioner was doing its job, it shouldn't matter at that point which way you turned the motor.
