KTM, Husqvarna, GASGAS Manual Cam Chain Tensioner 2010-2025 | 690 / 701 / 890 Adventure, Enduro & SMC
Long-term engine protection for the street, highway, and trail.
The Nihilo Concepts Manual Cam Chain Tensioner is a premium upgrade designed to replace the standard hydraulic tensioner found in the KTM, Husqvarna, and GASGAS large-displacement engines. For riders of the 690, 701, and 890 platforms, this is an essential reliability upgrade that eliminates one of the most common mechanical "weak points" in the LC4 and LC8c engines.
Why Switch to a Manual Tensioner?
Most modern street bikes use a hydraulic tensioner that relies entirely on engine oil pressure to keep the cam chain tight. However, this system can be unpredictable. The Nihilo Manual Tensioner replaces this variable system with a fixed, mechanical setting. Once adjusted, it stays exactly where you set it, providing consistent tension regardless of oil temperature, pressure, or engine RPM.
