Yep you gotta remove the outer primary to install an M6.

It was in the bike when I bought it,I replaced the shoe when I did my build,and it wasn't really worn but it's cheap enough. This is the part number from J&P Cycle (6001008) That is what I've been running for the tensioner.

That's the HB125, there's a lot of positive reviews on here from people using them. $76 new on eBay. Not a bad deal.

When I blew up my EVO at 89k miles the primary chain and sprockets looked great and the shoe had no grooves in it. Are you running enough oil in your primary or are you just super heavy on the throttle?
