DescriptionThe whole story

When chain tension is a safety-critical setting — particularly on a high-output superbike like the Kawasaki ZX-10 R — the precision and reliability of your chain tensioner matter as much as any other component in the drivetrain. The LighTech TEKA003 is CNC-machined from a solid billet of Ergal 7075 aerospace-grade aluminium, delivering a level of dimensional accuracy and long-term structural integrity that the factory part simply cannot match.

Key Features

  • Fits Kawasaki ZX-10 R model years 2011 to 2015 — a direct, engineered replacement for the OEM chain tensioner
  • Machined from Ergal 7075 high-tensile aluminium alloy — significantly stronger and lighter than standard cast components
  • External adjuster screw system allows fast, precise chain tension setting without specialist tooling
  • Laser-engraved graduated scale ensures perfectly symmetrical wheel alignment at every adjustment — a critical safety factor on track and road alike
  • CNC-milled from solid billet for repeatable accuracy and superior durability over the service life of the component
  • Available with or without the titanium axle nut D024 — LighTech recommends pairing with D024 for full compatibility and optimal fitment

Precision Alignment — Why It Matters

Correct and symmetrical rear wheel alignment directly affects handling stability, tyre wear and chain longevity. The laser-engraved scale on the TEKA003 removes the guesswork entirely: both sides can be set to the same graduation mark in seconds, giving you a reference point that is repeatable every time the rear wheel is removed and refitted. On a ZX-10 R being used at track days or in competition, this is not a cosmetic detail — it is a genuine safety and performance advantage.

Installation Note

LighTech recommends replacing the standard OEM axle nut with a lower-profile alternative to guarantee maximum compatibility with the TEKA003. The titanium axle nut D024 is the recommended companion part and is available as an optional addition via the variant selector.
