Nihilo Concepts NMCT Cam Chain Tensioner

Description

The Nihilo Concepts Manual Cam Chain Tensioner forces more oil to the head and crank assembly extending motor life and eliminating engine destroying can tensioner failure. The KTM Stock Tensioners are Hydraulic and pull oil from the system to make them operate. In the case of low oil pressure the stock unit can allow the chain to jump destroying the motor. By blocking off the oil jet that is intended to pressurize the stock tensioner, more oil is forced to the very important valve train and crank assembly. This is very important with any race motor or for anyone that does not want to take a chance with the stock hydraulic unit. The tensioner comes with an oil jet block off plug. On the 450 you simply replace the stock jet with the plug, it screws right in. On the 350 you will need to tap the oil jet hole to receive the plug. Dedicated to improving the performance and appearance of motocross and off-road race machines (including KTM, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, and Yamaha bikes), Nihilo Concepts proudly manufactures innovative billet products in the USA from the highest quality materials.
