The 14520KTC902S Lifter / Tensioner Assembly is the authentic Hero OEM component that maintains correct tension on the cam / timing chain in your engine. Without proper tension, the chain can slacker, skip, or create noise — which impacts engine performance and longevity. This assembly ensures your camshaft timing remains precise under all operating conditions.
The assembly is sold as a full unit—no need to cobble old parts.
By replacing a worn or failed tensioner, you restore stable chain tension, reduce tick noise, and avoid timing drift — which is crucial for performance, emissions compliance, and engine reliability. Installation is done in the timing cover section of the engine, and ideally handled by a trained mechanic. Always compare this part number with your bike’s parts list to ensure compatibility.

Very likely, if your model matches those listed in supplier catalogs. Always confirm via your parts list or VIN. -
What is a lifter / tensioner assembly?
It’s the component that applies and maintains tension on the cam / timing chain, avoiding slack, noise, and skipping. -
What are signs this part has failed?
Audible chain noise (“tick”), slack in timing chain, misfires, or loss of cam timing stability. -
Is it easy to replace?
It requires opening the engine timing cover and careful alignment. Best done by someone experienced. -
Can I reuse the old one after disassembly?
Not recommended — springs / internal wear may degrade performance. Use a fresh assembly for reliability.
