Dirt Tricks TCT X2 Cam Chain Tensioner for KTM 1090 Adventure R (2017-2018)

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 X2 Cam Chain Tensioner is designed to address common issues with slack timing chains on modern 4-stroke engines, specifically fitting the 2017 and 2018 KTM 1090 Adventure R models. These newer engines utilize a hydraulic timing chain tensioning system that relies on engine oil pressure, which can be prone to failure due to OEM component flaws, leading to a slack chain that may cause engine damage or performance issues. Our tensioner offers a reliable, fail-safe solution that ensures proper tension and smooth operation. Crafted by the founder of Dirt Tricks, this tensioner features a simple yet effective design that captures oil pressure accurately and employs a positive mechanical ratcheting system to prevent collapse, providing consistent tension regardless of engine conditions. Installing this tensioner can eliminate common symptoms such as a ticking noise at idle or irregular engine timing, ensuring your motorcycle runs smoothly and reliably. Built to meet or exceed OEM standards, the Dirt Tricks TCT X2 provides a durable and trustworthy upgrade that enhances engine longevity and performance. Whether you're performing a repair or preventative maintenance, this part is an essential addition for KTM 1090 Adventure R owners seeking to maintain optimal engine health and avoid costly failures.
