🔌 Function

The tensioner maintains controlled contact with the chain so slack does not develop between the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets.

• Chain rattles at start-up

• Timing-chain slack

• Uneven chain tracking

• Metal backing becomes visible

• Camshaft timing faults

Recommended checks before installation:

• Inspect the full chain-contact surface

• Check the tensioner mounting point

• Inspect the link and automatic adjuster

• Measure timing-chain elongation

• Check both sprockets

• Verify timing marks after assembly

📦 Condition

• Genuine Suzuki Marine used part

• Pre-owned timing component

• Oil staining and wear marks may be present

• Inspect against the service limit before installation

• New components are generally preferred during complete timing-system service

• Supplied in protective or equivalent packaging
