Video: Kawi Performance's New Redesigned Tensioner

Jun 01, 2023

Kawi Performance out of Long Island, NY offers the only maintenance-free supercharger tensioner assembly on the market- but they couldn't stop there! Their innovative tensioner spring bushing kit replaces the weak OEM rubberized spring bushings with high-quality marine alloy ones- designed to last for the life of your machine with little to no maintenance!

Engineered, designed, and manufactured in-house these upgraded tensioner spring bushings increase performance while reducing maintenance downtime. The KP kit includes two sets of matched bushings- the outer bushings are made of a proprietary marine alloy, while the inner bushings are made from a self-lubricating high-performance polymer.

Over time, the rubber on the stock bushings wears down- limiting the movement of the tensioner spring on its axis and contributing to excessive belt slip and loss of performance. The KP bushings include seated o-rings designed to keep moisture and contaminates out, while alloy outer bushing and inner polymer bushings work together to allow a free range of movement without the need to regularly unassemble or grease the components.

Check out the Kawi Performance website for more innovative products and services, as well as some great maintenance tips and tutorial videos. Stay tuned for KP's all-new redesigned website which will be launching soon.
