Automatic Primary chain tensioner
Wondering if it would be wise to go to a automatic primary chain tensioner on a 00 Ultra 1450 SE stage one and if so which self adjuster is recommended?

RE: Automatic Primary chain tensioner
Bill,
I just put the Harley one on my Road Glide and it seem to work ok. Only 5 or 6 hundred miles on it, I'll see better when I have 4k on it and my shifting doesn't ger sloppy.

RE: Automatic Primary chain tensioner
I went with HD; itâs been on for about 1k. I love it. At first there was a winning noise. The noise has gone away after a couple of 100 miles. It was the first mod I have done myself. Next is the reduced effort clutch.

Had an 04 Road King put 22,000 miles on it the first year. Had the hayden M6 from day one, never any noise smoothe as silk shifting. Just installed it on my 06 Street Glide. The best upgrade for the money.

RE: Automatic Primary chain tensioner
I have the Hayden M6, I didn't know much about the Hydraulic one when I bought it. I would recommend any of them, the Hayden has served me well, nothing but rave reviews about the Hydraulic one...
Either way, it's one less maintenance step at 5K and 10K intervals, and you can ride knowing you have a properly adjusted Primary chain.

RE: Automatic Primary chain tensioner
I went with Harley one, figuring if I ever did have problem on road would be easy to get parts for it. I am happy with it.

RE: Automatic Primary chain tensioner
My dealer's service dept. told me the (automatic primary chain tensioner) was designed only for the 2006 Dyna and would not work on any other model. I said but it is the same engine in the EG and he told me no this engine is very different this year. I don't shop there anymore.

RE: Automatic Primary chain tensioner
Ed,
Can't those guys read? Good dessision not going there!
The guys couldn't wait to put the automatic tensioner in my RG, they haven't seen one yet as there is no inspection cover on the 06 Dynas. Fine a good dealer, it ain't easy, and have it put in, you'll like it.
