540022 Primary chain tensioner kit

For riders with 6-speed transmissions who are concerned about the factory automatic tensioner over-tightening the chain, this primary chain tensioner kit offers a manual adjustment alternative. It fits 2007 to 2017 Softail, 2006 to 2017 Dyna, and 2007 to 2016 Touring models. By switching to a manual system, you can prevent the excessive wear on inner primary bearings and transmission seals often caused by the OEM automatic system. This kit is a stock-style replacement that provides a more traditional, reliable way to manage primary chain slack. It is sold as a kit and naturally replaces OEM numbers 36500020 and 540022, offering a direct fit for modern Big Twins.
