There are a couple of manuals ones on the market. I have alwaysed used APE brand on my other bikes but haven't had to replace the tensioner on my 92. You should be able to find something if you search.

I was hoping to find an auto one but it seems they are as rare as hens teeth and by the sounds of things I think the manual ones are a better choice I just don't like mucking around with valve trains seen so many mates destroy engines lol

Use caution when using a manual CCT, if you adjust it wrong, a lot can go wrong, if not familiar with them.
http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Cam_cha...sioner_removal The OEM does a fine job, you can disassemble and clean them, and/or order parts to rebuild them, or just order the whole CCT, as I have done.

Cam Chain Tensioners... hate 'em, fear 'em, always wondering when it'll fail.
If only I could find a motorcycle that doesn't have/need a Cam Chain Tensioner... Oh, wait a minute: (I still have my '05 EX250 and I still love it, but the VFR is soooo good in so many ways it's hard to put into words) |

I have both types on hand, and can assist. What year is your MC? Do you have pics of the electrical connectors?
