Dirt Tricks TCT Cam Chain Timing Tensioner for KTM and Husqvarna 4-Stroke Models

The Dirt Tricks Timing Chain Tensioner resolves issues with a slack timing chain on the new 4-stroke motors. The 2008 and newer four-strokes use a timing chain tensioning device intended to develop its force using the engine oil pressure hydraulically. The OEM components have serious flaws, which can leave the timing chain in a slack condition. This can have disastrous consequences. The Founder of Dirt Tricks developed our timing chain tensioner as a simple, effective, and fail-safe replacement for the OEM tensioner. It correctly captures the oil pressure and uses a positive mechanical ratcheting system to prevent it from collapsing. If you have a “ticking” noise at idle, on your newer 4-stroke, you need this part.

The Dirt Tricks TCT Cam Chain Tensioner is a reliable replacement for the hydraulic OEM timing chain tensioner used on select 4-stroke engines. Designed to address timing chain slack and idle ticking, this tensioner uses engine oil pressure correctly while adding a positive mechanical ratcheting system that helps prevent the plunger from collapsing. The result is consistent timing chain tension and improved protection against excessive chain movement.

Developed by Dirt Tricks as a simple, effective, and fail-safe alternative to the original equipment design, the TCT tensioner helps maintain proper cam chain control during operation. It is manufactured for a direct-fit installation on compatible KTM applications and is suitable for riders and technicians looking to replace a problematic or worn hydraulic tensioner.
