Tru-TensionChain Monkey | Motorcycle Precise Chain Tensioning Tool

Makes chain adjustment less messy, less time consuming and less guess work. Measuring 40mm of chain movement in several parts of a chain was a complete pain. With this you can do it in seconds and your hands can remain reasonably clean. Its a bit expensive for what it is, but I would still recommend buying one, just for the accuracy of the result.

Very easy to use and set up no more measuring needed to keep doing and checking has you move the wheel back just fit on chain and adjust once

Great item quality good as description

I tried using the Tru-Tension Chain Monkey to set my motorcycle chain tension, but I’m not convinced it actually made the process any easier or more accurate. In the end, I found that traditional methods—which you can easily find on YouTube or in your bike’s service manual—worked just as well, if not better.I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this, even for beginners, as it might create more confusion than clarity. The tool is well-made, but personally, I’ll be sticking to the tried-and-tested manual method in the future.

Definitely takes the faff out of setting your chain tension.I know you can do it with a ruler or measuring tape, as long as you have 4 arms... But with this, you only need 2 arms, and it takes a couple of minutes.Set it for your chain, bung it on the chain, adjust chain, take it back off the chain. Job done... Well... Maybe tighten up the bolts you loosened to adjust the chain. That's probably a good idea.

Handy when your similarly weighted mate isn’t around to sit on the bike for you. I only put 4 stars for ease of use as I believe any specialist tool is going to require a bit of learning and perhaps existing knowledge on the users part. There is a helpful video available on YouTube to aid, provided by the manufacturer.

Firstly: I've been riding/maintaining motorcycles for over half a century.Chain adjustments a wee bit of a chore.Secondly: This piece of kit all but eliminates that chore.Thirdly: Best method is not to use the indicated lines to get the correct slack.Instead. Set your slack normally to your preference, then, attach the Monkey.Then, tighten the Monkey and make a note of the position on its scale.Then, in the future, adjust the chain with the Monkey to your own noted mark on the tool.It works well.The idea's a good one and that's why it doesn't cost between five and ten quid.I guess when the patent's up there'll be Chinese ones for $4.99 on AliExpress.In the meantime, if you want to make chain adjusting very, very much easier....buy one nowfrom Amazon.

Perfect for anyone with little or no experience.This tool will give you the confidence that you’ve tensioned your chain correctly.Highly recommend this product
