tensioner question

Post by frosty »

going to change the cam chain tensioners on my firestorm and was wondering what are the thoughts on using either genuine honda or fitting manual ones. if i fit manual ones how tight do you do them up .

got the bike partly stripped today with just cam covers to remove and decide which tensioners to go for, rear one looks brand new but I will replace it anyway
