When to replace chain tensioner on Harley Electra Glide?
Broken up at 28k miles on my Electra Glide. The manual is woefully negligent on this subject. I would advise ’06 & earlier check at 25k. Newer hydraulic aren’t much better in material used for the “shoe” but can leave inspect up to 45k miles. As an aside, the particles clog the support plate. Harley answer = replace. I chased my holes to clean.

I followed the instructions the best that I could and it says that if the tensioner moves up and down when you flex the chain then you are good.
Is there a way to check the primary chain tensioner?
You didn’t mention which tensioner you installed but the auto tensioners will make a bit of noise when operating. If the noise is excessive then I would recheck the tension on the chain. I have the Harley tensioner that came stock on all of the newer bikes. Is there a way to check the tension to ensure that it is working properly?
