I had to take off my inner primary because of a seal leak. While it's apart I was wondering if the new H-D Automatic primary chain adjuster PN# 40063-05 would be a good thing to throw in there.  I have heard from people that have the M-6 that the bike shifts a little smoother and quieter. Any thoughts?

Thanks GRC, I was kind of leaning towards getting one.  Mine has always learched and clunked.   [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] I think they are all about $100.00, so I might try the H-D. I'll let everyone know how it does.

Stickman,

I was also thinking og getting the HD Chain Adjuster, however I atlked with a few people who installed them. Thye were not to happy, switched to Haydes or Hb125.

Also check outh the Harley Tech Talk (HTT) website, lot of discussion of not being that good, some of the members on this site are also members of HTT.

Check it out. I am going with the M6 or Hb125.

I went with the Harley model for $100.00.  I thought they would honor fixing it if it failed or caused a different problem.  My dealer doesn't even want you changing your own oil, let alone put in a chain tensioner.  I havn't put it in yet as I'm still trying to decide if it's the seal in the inner primary or the main seal that's leaking.

I actually like to work on the thing and prefer knowing how it all works so I have a better chance of  understanding what is going wrong when I am on the road.  My luck with dealer service has been not so good so far and I hope if I need to have a battle over warranty items some day I will be able to succeed.  In the mean time let everyone know how the harley thing works out and i will post how the m6 does when I get it on.  Be safe JP [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=banana.gif]

I bought a Hayden chain tensioner for my 98 Sportster and removed it right away because I didn't like the sound.  I later traded the Sportster on the 03 SERK.  I know the replacement due to sound seems picky but the material is different and it made a louder sound from the primary chain sliding accross a different material.  I sold it on ebay.  I am going to buy the Harley tensioner for this reason.

I installed a HB125 hydraulic chain tensioner about two years ago and it works great.  I've been wondering ever since why Harley didn't make one of their own.

I tried the New Chain Tentioner from Harley after the bike warms up there is a tight chain noise ( howl) now I found out it's a bearing noise because Harley now says a bearing has to be changed in all Dyna bikes which comes with the tentioner every 15,000 miles     Good Luck

I am using the Hayden M6 (no extra noise) for about 9 months now however I use alot more preload than what the manufacturer suggests.
