hello, great videos. in the intro i see you have a oil cooler mounted in the middle of the dna stage 3 air filter. where did you get that? what brand is it? I've been wanting to mount a Kitaco 5 row oil cooler i got. i just cant figure out how to mount it and the dna stage 3 air filter.
Very interesting. I wonder what the implications are of switching the cam chain tensioner to metal. It could be that for sure the tensioner wheel lasts longer, but now the cam chain itself needs replacing more often. Not sure if its a worthwhile tradeoff...
Hi, thanks for your nice comment! Around a 1000km on the OEM. We’ve done about 300miles or about 480 km since fitting them, which was a trip to the Isle of Man for the TT so they got a good run out and definitely put through their paces! All good so far💪🏻
from what i see in my bike, the rubber roller from the cam chain tensioner arm doesnt have any wear after 13k km. but the middle rubber roller have the ridge completely destroyed. i am interesed in changing the middle roller. i have already trying with an nylon roller but its the same result.
I think the accelerated wear comes when you start to modify the engine and put the components under more stress…. But I agree, there was no evidence of wear on ours, but with so few miles, that’s to be expected. I also think the previous models were more prone because they had the option of an aftermarket mechanical tensioner, where you could put extra force on the tensioner arm… like I say in the video, I’d call the design of the 2021+ bikes more of a dampener than a tensioner💪🏻 Keep us informed with what you do and find out💪🏻

Hi, it’s a 6 row cooler from Steady garage in the USA. Fits perfectly in between the DNA, but we had to fabricate a bracket ourselves.
you guys planning on doing a video of it running? would be really interested to see how much quicker it is to rev over stock
Have a look at the videos of us at the Isle of Man, that’s the bike running with the can chain and flywheel fitted💪🏻
ha nice vid. Hope you’re well James 👍🏻
All good mate💪🏻

I guess only time will tell… 🤞🏻🤞🏻
On the pre 22 model engine (4-gear) the torque of those screws is 16Nm. So I guess these are the same.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it💪🏻
Hi guys, nice and really informative video. How many km have you done with the oem cam chain tensioner?
