The Problem With KTM 390 Timing Chain Tensioners.....

failure prone ktm tensioners and why I'm switching over

Thanks for the video my friend that little pin is exactly what I found lodged in my crankshaft oil port 🥴 unreal..

I totaly agree with author, I have upgraded original tensioner to manual and now there is no problem at all

Again another great presentation. I've got a gen 1 bike with less than 3000km (yes) on it which I acquired from a friend. I have to say after many decades of motorcycles all these issues are just mind boggling. Even my 89 ducati was less problem

Nice vid dude, ty. Would it be hard to make a custom pin for this you think? Before breaks

How has the 400 KT manual one done for you/ Any issue or things to keep an eye on?

Owh by the way. Are the shim on duke 390 outer diameter is 8.7mm?

[khmerghost]

That is really bad. Could cause a catastrophic failure to your engine thats a big chunk of metal goes missing.

[khmerghost]

Would be better to modified it using a long screw + nut and threadlock.

10:00min in what could have been said in 3min…… just wasting people’s time man, sort it out. ‘Tensions on 390’s break often, take a look here, end of video’…. done!
