Im guessing you taking about the timming chain tensioner.
If so the stock one is good. I don't think you can get a after market one

What is wrong with the oem one??

no i'm talking about the chain adjuster on the swingarm, to make the chain tighter, mine has a crack on it.Thanks though.

u must be talking about the bearing carrier. if you are going to replace id go with an aftermarket one. burgard has really good deals on them.
