Adventure/Touring Bike Cam Chain & Belt Tensioners

Touring and adventure motorcycles are designed to cope with long distances on paved roads and off-road trails. Usually, these two-wheelers offer extra comfort, good hauling capability, and powerful engines. However, before setting off for a long trip, it is paramount to ensure that the engine is in good condition. A chain or belt tensioner is among the most vital parts of an engine. The cam chain or belt transfers power from the crankshaft to the camshaft, synchronizing the opening and closing of the valves. The tensioner or pulley keeps the proper tension of the chain or belt to deliver reliable and safe performance.

Depending on the model, there are various designs of the valvetrain including toothed belts, gears, and roller chains. While modern chains are robust and durable, they can wear out and get longer over time, resulting in the loss of power and extra job for tensioners. There are several types of tensioners, but most of them use the same working principle relying on a spring-loaded slider that counters the chain's sagging.
