Royal Enfield Auto Chain Tensioner Assembly 574128/E – Genuine OEM for Himalayan 411 / Cam Chain Tensioner

Maintain optimal cam chain slack and silence your Himalayan’s valvetrain with the genuine Royal Enfield Auto Chain Tensioner Assembly (Part 574128/E). This is the factory cam chain tensioner unit, designed to keep correct chain tension throughout engine operation to avoid rattle, jump, or premature wear. Offered as OEM, it matches factory specifications for seal, spring, and precision housing — superior to generic aftermarket units that may leak or fail prematurely.

Installing this tensioner restores silent, smooth operation, helps reduce wear on guides and sprockets, and decreases vibration or chirping under load. The part is oil-fed and self-adjusting (auto), so once installed and torqued properly, no manual re-adjustment is required. Ideal for periodic engine rebuilds, maintenance checkups, or replacing a failed/weak tensioner.

FAQs:

Q1. Is 574128/E the same as 574128/B or 574128/D?
Yes. The parts catalog and Bike-Parts Royal Enfield site list 574128/E as the “replacement part number” for 574128/B and 574128/D. 

Q2. Does this tensioner fit any Royal Enfield besides Himalayan 411?
No other confirmed fits are documented in trusted microfiche or dealer catalogs currently. Only the Himalayan / allied 411 series is listed. (No evidence for Meteor, Classic, etc.)

Q3. What symptoms indicate the tensioner needs replacing?
Common symptoms include cam chain rattle/noise (especially on cold start), ticking or chirping under throttle, unusual valve train noise at idle, or increased vibration.

Q4. Is there any adjustment needed after installation?
No. It’s an automatic tensioner. After torqueing the mounting bolt to spec and verifying oil pressure, it self-adjusts.

Q5. Can I reuse my old tensioner seal or spring?
Not recommended. Always replace the full tensioner unit. Reusing internal components risks leakage, wear, or failure.
