High strength cam chain tensioner that can follow the cam chain and maintain proper tension
■Specifications of the stock tensioner arm The stock tensioner arm is made from a plate material, so the contact area with the push rod is small, and the rubber at the end of the push rod sinks into the shape of the plate thickness. If you use it for a long time with a high power engine, the stock tensioner arm may be deformed and the push rod head may be damaged. In this case, the proper tension is not applied to the cam chain, which may cause engine trouble.
■SP Takegawa tensioner arm SP Takegawa's tensioner arm is made from super duralumin material which is very strong and thick to increase the strength of the arm body and also to increase the contact area to the push rod. This not only strengthens the tensioner arm, but also reduces the risk of the rubber at the end of the push rod sinking or breaking, greatly improving the life of the push rod.
■Special colors and oil holes are used A special collar is installed in the center of the arm to control the oscillation of the tensioner arm, so that the force of the push rod can be accurately transmitted to the cam chain. An oil hole is provided in the arm body to lubricate the moving parts with oil.
■Comparison of stock tensioner roller and SP Takegawa tensioner roller The SP Takegawa tensioner roller has a larger diameter than the standard roller to maintain proper tension on the cam chain and to reduce roller wear. In addition, the sprocket shape, which is not used in the standard model, has been adopted to improve the followability to the cam chain.
In addition, the stock tensioner roller is not removable, but this product has a removable roller structure, which makes it possible to replace the roller for easy maintenance.

About quality and texture, I can confirm that the quality is great and that a mixture of materials are used from aluminum alloy for the arm, to hard rubber for the wheel and stainless steel for the spacer and bolt. About the feeling of use, The original cam chain tensioner did not last very long before it showed signs of wear when used with a powerful 4 valve head engine setup but I am very confident that the Takegawa cam chain tensioner will not suffer the same problem due to it's design features and the materials used in the constuction. Products to buy together, More parts to support a powerful 4 valve head engine setup would be ideal to add to your cart like the crankshaft bearing support also from Takegawa. Difficulty of installation, I can say the fitment of the cam chain tensioner for my installation was average due to engine cover and rotor removal required for access. Cost performance and comparison with other products, The pricing of the product is great. You receive a product made from quality materials that does away with the original part that can fail causing major problems. Priced similar to other reinforced cam chain tensioners but much higher then the original one. About shipping and packaging, My order was shipped within 48 hours of me placing the order and I received a few emails advising me of the status up until the order was dispatched. I find the link supplied to track my order very useful and the order arrived within the estimated date range. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, I have no concerns or cautions when purchasing from Webike. I cannot recommend Webike enough for the majority of your biking needs.

About quality and texture: I am happy with the quality of super cam chain tensioner from SP Takegawa, the arm is machined from an aluminium alloy called duralumin making this part now strong but still light weightAbout the feeling of use: When removing the Honda cam chain tensioner you can see why this part is so frequently upgraded by Grom owners. The design of the SP Takegawa cam chain tensioner with it's larger contact patch and replaceable wheel is superior in every way.Products to buy together: The cam chain tensioner push rod head would also be desirable to purchase along side the cam chain tensioner. SP Takegawa sell their own version which they recommend over the harder material one that Kitaco, it is more like the Honda one.Difficulty of installation: The process to install takes about one and a half hours. Removal of the left crankcase cover, flywheel and cam chain tensioner push rod is required. A little difficult to do.Cost performance and comparison with other products: Good costing as you are getting the best designed cam chain tensioner available for the Grom at the same pricing when compared to the Kitaco cam chain tensioner which in my opinion is just not as good in it's design.About shipping and packaging: Sea frieght was my perferred method of shipping due to the lower cost but currently unavailable due to Japan Post. Webike kept me updated on the status of my order up to when it shipped. The parcel arrived within the expected date range and was well packaged with no chance of the part being damaged.Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing: If you cannot justify the cost of this upgrade for your Grom then you need to atleast upgrade the cam chain tensioner push rod head to a harder material like the one from Kitaco that will not deform from the narrow contact patch from the Honda cam chain tensioner.View Detail

The TAKEGAWA Super Cam Chain Tensioner is far superior to the stock OEM tensioner. You will need a L Crankcase gasket to complete the installation of the cam chain tensioner. The Takegawa tensioner is made from high strength duralumin material that is machined to increase the thickness of the arm to increase the strength of the arm body and to increase the contact area of the push rod. The SP Takegawa tensioner roller has a larger diameter than the normal roller to maintain proper tension on the cam chain. Shipping was fast and no hassle to the US from WEBIKE.View Detail
