I'm looking at a 2006 super glide that supposedly has the new hydraulic tensioner upgrade from the factory! How or what do I need to look at on motor to determine if it has it or not without tearing into the motor? Thanks in advance

 

Harley catalogs Say it has it but why would I want to believe them?

 

Bike does have a 6 speed tranny, but that doesn't mean it has the tensioner upgrade!

 

You don't actually have to tear into the motor, just take the cover off to take a peak (Rt Side). The 06 Dynas have the new Tensioners so I highly doubt someone went in and swapped to old style...not exactly a popular downgrade to spend money on.

 

You could always pull the oil filter and tear it down, looking for orange bits. Worry about it when you see them, I guess.

 

all 06 Dynas were the 1st to have it and the 6 speed as well

 

[SIZE="3"It's just as Coolaid says all 2006 Dynas had the hydraulic tensioners 6 speeds and 88's....I'd just pull the exhaust off and then open up the cam chest too see what shape your in....

Just sayin

I wonder how hard to open the cam cover?
