Had a Cam Chain tensioner failure ...

After riding uphill I stopped and laid my FR down. Starting it up again, a rattling sound... end of story. ...fact is the hydraulic Cam Chain tensioner or also called the Timing Chain tensioner of my Ktm Freeride 350 stopped its duty cycle causing the Cam to turn over one tooth. Luckily on tooth didn' t damage the Valves, so the got no hit from the cylinder and didn't bent or even break. That would a been a disaster. This is how the Original KTM hydraulic Cam Chain tensioner looks like: Normally oil pressure is even too High causing too much wear of the chain. Testing my hydraulic Cam Chain tensioner on a flat table, pressing it down it remained blocked. It should not happen after only 70 hours. Conclusion:  I will grab a new mechanic Cam Chain tensioner from Mito Racing and get rid of any trouble and noises coming from my engine. Adjusting the new Mito Racing Cam Chain tensioner is pretty simple. I have put a little HowTo and review here.

How to tension your Cam Chain using a mechanic Timing Chain tensioner

How to tension your Cam Chain using a mechanic Timing Chain tensioner... this one is from Mino-Racing This is the buddy from Mino-Racing which I mounted in my KTM four stroke. KTM uses from 2006 onwards a hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioner which gets faulty after only a few hours. I guess it is mandatory to change the original hydraulic timing chain tensioner with a mechanical one to avoid break downs in the middle of nowhere! In this short Video you can see all action it takes to tension your Cam Chain. You have to pre-tension it by hand first until the Cam Chain is firm and afterward give it another half to three quaters of a turn with the hex. After that you can fix the counter hex and be shure no problems will occur. Check your timing chain tension every 20 hours or with any valve clearance check!
