🔧 Enhance Engine Performance with K&L Supply Cam Chain Tensioner Holder 35-6601 Review

I purchased a timing chain tensioner bracket from K&L to work on my 2012 Honda CBR600RR. This instrument was too long to fit; When the knurled end was removed it did not go through the frame to fit the hole in the cam chain tensioner. I had to cut off about 1/4 inch to make it work. After the wave was cut it worked quite well. I had some trouble getting it back *from* which may have been user error.

I was afraid to do a valve adjustment on my 2013 cb1100 because I didn't want to pay full price for the Honda version of this tool. Luckily I found this and it works. Be careful, I fell out the little threaded insert that keeps tension and holds the pickup washer to the stem, luckily I didn't lose it and was able to screw it back in using the same punch.

Purchased to ease timing chain tension on a 2007 Goldwing with ABS. I was able to use a tool and remove the cam to replace the seal. It was real pain. The ABS module and radiator hoses are in direct conflict with the strain relief connector. I had to adjust the button on the tool so it could go into the port, but it worked. Much cheaper than a Honda tool. Without him, the completion of the work was not possible.

The Honda version of this tool costs twice as much. The micro pinion clutch in the K&L tool makes it easy to remove the timing chain tensioner, even on the GL1800A with radiator hoses and skid pump; Just loosen the set screw on the handle and lower it half an inch and you have all the clearance you need unless you have very fat fingers. I hope the guy in the review above didn't actually take the bike apart like he said.
