An overtightened primary chain is known to cause premature failure of the engine, transmission and primary bearings as well as other complications.
Usually, the factory automatic primary chain tensioner is the culprit.
Our manually adjusted Primary Chain tensioner helps prevent premature engine and transmission bearing failure by allowing proper chain tension of 5/8″ to 7/8″ free play when cold.

My only issue is it requires you to either buy a special wrench separately or grind down one of your own significantly to adjust this. Why ship the wrench with the 32 sprocket adjuster and not this one? Now I have to wait longer to install. It’s not like you can use any ordinary wrench to adjust it, why not mention that in the description? Or offer the special wrench? Really annoyed.

This chain tensioner is the real deal!After trouble with the stock automaric adjuster i tried a Baker Adjustable chain tensioner, bent that one. So i tried the Baker Armored Adjuster.. yup bent that one too. Put in the Vulcan and no more problems. Quality unit and easy to install.
