Description
The Puig chain tensioner (reference 22232) is a billet replacement chain adjuster developed for the Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja from 2024 onward. It is manufactured from ergal, a high-grade aluminium alloy, obtained from an anodized aluminium block, which gives the part both strength and a quality finished appearance. The chain tensioner is the component at the rear of the swingarm that sets and holds the position of the rear wheel, thereby controlling the tension of the drive chain. Correct chain tension is important for smooth power delivery, even chain and sprocket wear, and overall drivetrain reliability, so a precise, solidly made adjuster is a worthwhile upgrade over a standard item. As a Puig accessory, this tensioner replaces the original adjusters with a unit that combines functional purpose with an upgraded look, machined from anodized aluminium for corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. It is offered in a range of anodized colour options so the part can be matched to the bike’s styling. Because it is a model-specific component designed for the 2024-onward ZX-6R, it is intended to fit the bike’s existing swingarm adjuster location. Riders should confirm their exact model and year and follow the fitting guidance for proper installation and chain alignment.
