Have a Question? See What Others Asked

Should this tool be used with or without the rubber nut cover. Instructions say without but video shows it used with. Does anyone know which is right.
can the bike be on its side stand when using this?
Can this be used with a chain guard in place? As this obviously obscures the top part of the chain
Will this work on Harley Davidson big twins? Thanks.

I love this thing

Makes chain adjustment less messy, less time consuming and less guess work. Measuring 40mm of chain movement in several parts of a chain was a complete pain. With this you can do it in seconds and your hands can remain reasonably clean. Its a bit expensive for what it is, but I would still recommend buying one, just for the accuracy of the result.

Quick and easy to use

Very easy to use and set up no more measuring needed to keep doing and checking has you move the wheel back just fit on chain and adjust once

Handy little tool.

Definitely takes the faff out of setting your chain tension.I know you can do it with a ruler or measuring tape, as long as you have 4 arms... But with this, you only need 2 arms, and it takes a couple of minutes.Set it for your chain, bung it on the chain, adjust chain, take it back off the chain. Job done... Well... Maybe tighten up the bolts you loosened to adjust the chain. That's probably a good idea.

Didn’t Really Help Much

I tried using the Tru-Tension Chain Monkey to set my motorcycle chain tension, but I’m not convinced it actually made the process any easier or more accurate. In the end, I found that traditional methods—which you can easily find on YouTube or in your bike’s service manual—worked just as well, if not better.I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this, even for beginners, as it might create more confusion than clarity. The tool is well-made, but personally, I’ll be sticking to the tried-and-tested manual method in the future.

Really pleased with this

Really pleased with this, it was genuinely very easy and much simpler than messing about with a tape measure. I did on my first attempt double check with a tape measure after and the chain was perfect, so i'm confident with it. I did change the chain myself and when replacing the wheel this tension tool keeps the perfect tension level while messing about and lining up the wheel, so when you tighten the rear axle bolt (with the chain tight) it is set nicely.

Excellent tool for anyone starting out

Perfect for anyone with little or no experience.This tool will give you the confidence that you’ve tensioned your chain correctly.Highly recommend this product

Works OK. Overpriced for its construction.

Firstly: I've been riding/maintaining motorcycles for over half a century.Chain adjustments a wee bit of a chore.Secondly: This piece of kit all but eliminates that chore.Thirdly: Best method is not to use the indicated lines to get the correct slack.Instead. Set your slack normally to your preference, then, attach the Monkey.Then, tighten the Monkey and make a note of the position on its scale.Then, in the future, adjust the chain with the Monkey to your own noted mark on the tool.It works well.The idea's a good one and that's why it doesn't cost between five and ten quid.I guess when the patent's up there'll be Chinese ones for $4.99 on AliExpress.In the meantime, if you want to make chain adjusting very, very much easier....buy one nowfrom Amazon.
