How to install a Hayden primary chain tensioner. This is on my 2009 Harley Davidson Road King to replace the factory ratcheting primary chain tensioner, which had over 60,000 miles on it. I experienced kind of a whining sound coming from the new tensioner as the chain links settled into a groove in the new tensioner shoe for around 1,000 miles or so. Barely noticeable now.

Next on the agenda will be replacing the weak engine compensator. In later years Harley Davidson discontinued use of this type and instead installed the Screamin' Eagle version on the new-at-the-time 96 cubic inch motors.
