The main benefits are enhancing your motorcycle's aesthetic appeal with a custom color and simplifying the process of adjusting chain tension due to its integrated system and markings.

Is this chain tensioner compatible with all Yamaha MT-09 models?

This specific model (20696R) is compatible with Yamaha MT-09 models from 2013 to 2020, including specific sub-models like the SP, Sport Tracker, Street Rally, and Tracer within those year ranges. Always verify your exact model and year.

What material is the chain tensioner made from?

It is manufactured from high-quality aluminum, milled from an aluminum block for a premium finish and durability.

How do I clean the red anodized finish?

Clean the tensioner using a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the anodized coating.

Does this product affect the motorcycle's performance?

Is installation difficult?

Installation requires basic mechanical skills. If you are not experienced with motorcycle maintenance, it is recommended to have it installed by a qualified technician.

What does 'milled from an aluminum block' mean for the product?

This process indicates a high level of manufacturing precision, resulting in a strong, well-finished component with precise dimensions, rather than being cast or formed.

Troubleshooting

Chain tensioner does not fit correctly.

Double-check that your motorcycle model and year match the compatibility list. Ensure no foreign objects or debris are obstructing the installation area.

Ensure the adjustment bolts are clean and not seized. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for the correct procedure for adjusting chain tension using integrated adjusters.

Anodized finish appears dull or faded.

Clean the surface gently with mild soap and water. Avoid direct sunlight exposure for prolonged periods if possible, and refrain from using harsh cleaning agents.
