I use Alpha Sports to find the part number

http://alpha-sports.com/suzuki_parts.htm

Then Robinsons Foundry to find the price and then order online if need be, although any Suzuki dealer should be able to order the parts.

http://www.robinsonsfoundry.co.uk/sh...rts/index.html


This is the price for a 2001 model Cam chain tensioner.

For which flavour of SV? I've got half a dozen in the garage for the carbed model... From assorted blown motors so I've never tested them but they all spring back properly.

I presume northy will be back from the AR soon, sounds like he has what you need.

Have you taken one off before? It helps to make a little tool to lock the tensioner back while you bolt it in.

Sorry, I know yhis thread is old, but can't you just mount the tensioner without the spring and then mount the spring & tensioner adjuster bolt afterwards? That's what the manual suggests.
