Dirt Tricks TCT Cam Chain Tensioner for KTM and Husqvarna 4-Stroke Engines

The Dirt Tricks Timing Chain Tensioner resolves issues with a slack timing chain on the new 4-stroke motors. The 2008 and newer four-strokes use a timing chain tensioning device intended to develop its force using the engine oil pressure hydraulically. The OEM components have serious flaws, which can leave the timing chain in a slack condition. This can have disastrous consequences. The Founder of Dirt Tricks developed our timing chain tensioner as a simple, effective, and fail-safe replacement for the OEM tensioner. It correctly captures the oil pressure and uses a positive mechanical ratcheting system to prevent it from collapsing. If you have a “ticking” noise at idle, on your newer 4-stroke, you need this part.

The Dirt Tricks TCT Cam Chain Tensioner offers a reliable solution for addressing slack timing chains in 4-stroke engines from KTM and Husqvarna. Designed specifically for models from 2005 through 2012, this tensioner replaces the OEM component, which often suffers from hydraulic failure resulting in chain slack and potential engine damage. The innovative design captures oil pressure effectively and incorporates a positive mechanical ratcheting system to prevent collapse, ensuring consistent tension during operation. This upgrade is especially beneficial for riders experiencing a ticking noise at idle, indicating a failing tensioner on newer engines.

Constructed with durability and performance in mind, the Dirt Tricks TCT tensioner simplifies maintenance and enhances engine reliability. Its fail-safe mechanism protects against the common flaws seen in factory parts, providing peace of mind during demanding riding conditions. Installation is straightforward, and this tensioner is compatible with a range of KTM 250 SX-F and KTM 400 XC-W models from 2005 to 2010, making it a versatile upgrade for enthusiasts looking to improve engine longevity and performance. Whether you're restoring an older bike or preventing future issues, this tensioner is engineered to deliver dependable tension and reduce noise, contributing to smoother engine operation and extended engine life.
