Is this cam chain tensioner standard?

[Neosophist]

It doesn't look like either of the two in the microfiche.



Seems to work ok though

[RedexRobB]

doesnt look anything like mine, ive got the old type.

[Neosophist]

It's off a fresh import from Japan.

I've looked in the Workshop manuals for the H & L Models at both of the types of tensioner and it doesn't seem to fit the description of either one

Bikes weird!

i have both old and new style tensioners and neither look like that, looks like the newer style principal with two springs and a bolt in the bottom.

[Neosophist]

Didn't think it's standard!

You can't reset it per se.. you just shove it in and when you tighten the bolt up a little it stops it dropping back down as it pushes the bearing out against the little collar.

Odd.. wonder what it came off

Hi,

That looks very much like my old tensioner I had on my 1988 zx400 engine. You might be lucky and have a zx400 engine or just the tensioner.

Because some people call the zxr400... lzx400, previous owner might of got a new tensioner from a zx400 calling it zx and not zxr?

Ask Zimm, he prob knows more about zx400s then me.

Yip, it's a ZX-4 tensioner , I got recommended to use the last edition L's tensioner on all engines - that was from a Kawasaki racing team ex-rider.

Gt one of those motors in my cupboard that's needing ripped down and cam's swapped into another

[Neosophist]

Ok cool

Well i'm going to check the engine number tonight and see what the engine is!
