*There may be changes in product specifications due to the manufacturer's reasons.
Under the severe use of high-tuned engine, the stock cam chain tensioner will be deformed and it will cause unexpected trouble. Tensioner cap made of engineering plastic prevents deformation and trouble.
Points of Attention
* If there may be an instruction manual included, it will be written in Japanese.
This Kitaco Cam Chain Tensioner Cap is the weakest part of the Monkey 125. The stock OEM Tension caps have been shown to deteriorate unusually fast and disable your engine. With the installation of the Kitaco Tensioner cap that worry is eliminated and you will require a Left side Crankcase gasket to complete the installation. The material is much harder than the stock oem tensioner cap and will require a bit of force to install on the engine. Shipping was quick and hassle free from WeBike to the US. We purchased two of these Kitco Tension caps as they are a vital component to the functionabilty of your motorcyle engine.View Detail
* About quality and texture, The tensioner cap from Kitaco is exactly the same dimensions as the OEM Honda one but is made from a much harder material to last longer.* About the feeling of use, With the use of the harder material in the manufacture of the cap from Kitaco I feel confident in there being no deformation or failure of this part due to pressure applied from the cam chain tensioner arm.* Products to buy together, When removing the tensioner rod to carry out the replacement of the part it recommend to also replace the crush washers for the 2 bolts removed during the process. Webike conveniently have these OEM Honda parts available.* Difficulty of installation, Fitting the Kitaco tensioner cap was not a simple press in fit like the OEM Honda one and did require some force with the use of a soft faced hammer. The process was completed in 20 minutes with a little difficultly.* Cost performance and comparison with other products, I find this a cost effective part as you are removing a weak part of the tensioner system that is prone to failure. More expensive then the OEM Honda part but more then likely will not require replacement in the future like the OEM Honda one will again and again.* About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 6 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems.* Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, If you have many miles on your engine and the other parts in the cam chain tensioner system need replacing also, Kitaco offer a kit with the tensioner cap and there cam chain tensioner arm which you may prefer. Use the product reviews to assist in making a decision on your purchase.View Detail
About quality and texture - Top quality. Kitaco's tensioner cap is made of engineering plastic (hard plastic).About the feeling of use - After seeing how much the OEM tensioner cap (soft plastic) had deformed on removal I feel more confident now knowing it has been upgraded.Products to buy together - If your budget allows you can also upgrade the cam chain tensioner arm which has a wider contact surface on the tensioner cap.Difficulty of installation - Simple install for the tensioner cap. Remove the bolt adjacent to the drain bolt on the lower surface of the engine. This allows for removal of the tensioner push rod. Swap over the caps and reverse the process.Cost performance and comparison with other products - I think this item should be cheaper being made of such little material and of a simple design but since there is no other options here on Webike offering the hard plastic Kitaco have the market covered.About shipping and packaging - I think Webike are doing their best with shipping pricing, so I'm happy. Packages ship within 24 hours and arrive very quickly from Japan.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - If you are going to be using the cam chain tensioner arm from Takegawa, that company recommend using there tensioner cap part number 00-01-0279.View Detail
When I opened up the left side of the motor on a stock motor you could see the OEM tensioner cap was the weak link in the mechanism and is a must to be upgraded for any increase in power and revs. I found the installation of the cap onto the rod very tight but eventually went on with a few good hits. Since buying this item from Kitaco I found Takegawa also have an upgraded cap which I would have bought it I knew.View Detail
