Hopefully soon i can get around to ordering one of Mr. Krieger's tensioners for the KLX.

I don't suppose you make one for my 6R as well ?
You weren't the rider who emailed me.

Yes, I do make one that would work in your ZX.

When it does the job, that's just plain fun. The only thing better would be if I could be there to help do the work and see the look on a rider's face when they fire up the bike. I've had the opportunity a few times, it's like priceless.
Follow up:

I put 200+ miles of the KLX250s with the new manual cam chain tensioner, and the bike ran great. No more loud CLANK CLANK CLANK!
I am so glad to find someone who makes a product that works so simply and solves such a big problem so well. Thanks Mark for the peace of mind that comes with knowing there isn't something slapping around at high speed inside the engine that shouldn't be, it's like priceless.

Would have been nice to have you here to turn a wrench or two and then exchange high fives after firing up the bike. Felt great! Thanks again!

No problem. I'm around. Back in school teaching again for another trip around the sun... I know what you're talking about when you talk about things being crazy. I'm teaching two courses I've never done before - web design and an elective doing rockets and robotics. It's fun, but crazy. The one has the kids working like crazy (web design) and the other has the studens goofing off a bit much.

As long as your bike isn't making too much racket you're okay. Just use good judgement. It isn't about me selling parts, it's about you keeping your bike in one piece.
