Cam Chain Tensioner Question:

[richardthemotorcycle1]

Hey guys, not too long ago I had a oil leak at my acorn not, so I got O rings and its fix, now its leaking on the adjuster nut, my question is will the acorn nut O ring fit the adjuster nut? Are they the same O ring?

Your pic looks like an excerpt from MikesXS cam tensioner pic. It shows the type E tensioner and the MikesXS part number for that copper 'gasket'...

Hey guys, got the leak stop the adjusting nut need tighten does anyone know what size that nut is ( I had to use channel lock piers ) I know the acorn nut is 22mm.

I use a close SAE when I don't have the correct metric size.

Thanks weekendrider.

It's the same size as the drain plugs and rear axle nut, 27mm. If you own a 650, you should get a socket and/or wrench in this size, you'll use it often .....
