chain tensioner & Chain

[BlueZ440]

Where can I find a chain tensioner(CAMS) and chain for a good price? It's for a dvx400,kfx,ltz(all the same). Aftermarket or OEM..Thanks

Hate to change the subject on you, but could you tell me about how you bike has done since you put the 440 kit in.. I wanna do this to mine, but want the thing to be reliable..

It's been great for the last year and 1/2..The only problem I'm having is with the headgasket and a loud knocking sound..We took it apart today and found out that my chain tensioner & Chain were gone.. I guess the guy that put it on for me back then forgot to adjust it..But other than that if you have the right person doing it..It's the best kit for it for the right price..

How well are you doing with the 450's ???? So you are blowing head gaskets bad too???? What compression piston did you go with.. Sorry for so many questions, but i want to get this done right the first time and wanna now what all im in for after having it done.. All the info you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Well I only weight a bucket 5 wet and I can keep up with any 450 out there..I'm not big fan of drag racing but when it comes down to MX Holeshots 8 out of 10 time I'm taking the holeshots from 450 and predators. And that's no lie..

The only reason y I'm having issues with the headgasket is because back then when I order it, they send me the wrong size..I need it a 94m and they send me a 92m. So everything was going into the overflow but it wasn't going back in to the radiator.

As for the piston, I'm running 12:5 with HotCams.

You can order a kit for 500 that's including the cams..From Magic Racing. But you will have to go to a local Machine Shop to get it bore and re-sleeve.$120

So you cant run pump gas with that setup you have?? Yeah i hate drag racing too, but im tired of catchin him in the corners, just to have him pull back off on the straightaways...

[BlueZ440]

No pump gas..Race gas..I use VP ultimate 4..It's a BIG different.. But you can use any type of race gas and you can also 50/50..

So what octane is that????

[BlueZ440]

Is 98 octane..it's oxygenated.It keeps your bike cooler and running strong..But it cost alot of money..9 bucks a gallon..
