They also have a primary drive chain tensioner. Hence my confusion. I don't call the cam chain tensioners primary or secondary. I call them inner and outer.
Now if he'd said secondary cam chain tensioner, it would have been more clear as to what he was saying.

In doing the research for this I am amazad at how many people are still looking for this. Not sure exactly how many of these bikes were made with this engine during those years but looking at this and other forums it seems many are still looking for this tool. If I can produce it for less than the $140 that seems to cost then maybe it will be worthwhile.

I would give it a try just to see what it would cost to make an effective tool. I don't believe the Cujo tool is available now so there might be some demand for a cheap but effective tool; you know, we all like new tools.:icon-wink: I am amazed noone had come up with a used tensioner for the mockup; I checked, don't have one. I think you would have to keep the cost down to $25-$35 and not sure that is possible.
There was one on Ebay the other day for $99 and you would have thought it was priceless given the response from buyers.
I may just buy one of the tools I see to be able to use it for accurate measurements instead of a used tensioner.
and to the poster who suggested just popping the cams out, many on here just want a easier way to change those pesky tensioners without having to disassemble the whole cam plate.

Popping out the cams is really easy, it takes maybe 20 minutes using no special tools at all. Do you really change tensioners that often?
Anyway, good luck which ever method you end up using
