APE manual cam chain tensioners are designed to replace the automatic and hydraulic tensioners on high performance engines. The automatic adjusters can back out when the throttle is closed suddenly at high rpm. This allows the cams to go momentarely out of time, and can result in bent valves and/or serious engine damage. Hydraulic tensioners have a tendency to put too much tension on the chain guide under high rpm/high oil pressure conditions, resulting in premature wear.

Both problems can be eliminated with the installation of the APE manual tensioner. No mater what the engine does, the cam chain tension will remain constant. An APE manual cam chain tensioner is a must for any kind of performance riding.

APE manual tensioners are CNC machined from billet alloy to exact tolerances for perfect fit.

ADJUSTABLE CAM SPROCKETS

APE manufactures the original "billet" adjustable cam sprockets. APE sprockets are necessary for precise cam timing to achieve maximum performance.

APE sprockets are fully machined on the latest state of the art computerized equipment to precision tolerances and fully heat treated for extra long wear life.

APE cam sprockets are used by most leading racers who demand top performance along with the safety of not chancing their expensive racing heads to reworked stock sprockets.

HEAVY DUTY CAM CHAINS
Extra heavy duty cam chains are recommended to help eliminate chain breakage which can result in extensive engine damage. Tsubaki is the only true high performance cam chain available. The Tsubaki engineers have worked with top race mechanics world wide to produce the only cam chains that will stand up to the rigorous demands of high performance race machines. These same chains are equally at home in the stock street bike, affording the owner the added protection of a high performance chain at a price less than stock factory replacement chains.

APE'S CAM CHAIN IDLER ADAPTER

This adapter allows the use of a GPZ1100 or 1000J model cylinder head on the earlier KZ900 / 1000 lower end. It maintains the roller style cam chain. This is the only modification necessary to install the late big valve head on the early motor. Use with oem KZ sprocket or the high performance version at the right.

CAM CHAIN TENSIONER GUIDE

This is the guide in the back of the block that the tensioner pushes against. Racers know that the stock guide is always breaking or the rubber gets torn up by the chain. This new guide is made from space age composites with a very low drag co-efficent. Helps keep cams in time for more power.
