Title: Re: cam chain noise Post by babyhog on 06/21/11 at 13:34:49 Seems like I remember reading about more of a "feeling" in your left ankle than really a sound.... or am I thinking of something else? :-/ |

Title: Re: cam chain noise Post by Bubba on 06/21/11 at 13:43:05 Clicking on your right ankle when you press against the side cover as I recall. Seriously, if it's making a noticable sound I'd pull the cover asap before something blows...this is a known engine killer. |

Title: Re: cam chain noise Post by Bubba on 06/21/11 at 13:53:07 Generally the cam tensioner will be close to needing the verslavy mod at around 12-13,000 miles but it does vary. It really doesn't hurt to take a look. Personally I probably waited too long to do the mod. I only had about 2 clicks until the plunger shot out. I was at roughly 11,000 miles. |

Title: Re: cam chain noise Post by verslagen1 on 06/21/11 at 15:15:46 The sound varies... can be a chain rubbing but generally is a clack that you can feel by your right ankle, just press it against the case, or put your hand on top by the rear of the filter cover. if it starts to screach, pull over and stop before it goes kaboom. shut off engine and tow her home. don't pass go pay your $200 |

Title: verslavy mod Post by Mattdw on 06/22/11 at 06:06:56 Hi all, I have only about 4000 miles on an '02 I just bought. When can I start expecting to need the verslavy mod? What signs/sounds do I need to look for? Many Thanks! |

Title: Re: verslavy mod Post by Bubba on 06/22/11 at 06:18:13 You got some time...depends on how you ride. Check at 8 grand. |

Cheers Carl[/quote] You know what a loose valve sounds like... tick, tick, tick... like 2 spoons rapping against each other. At the end of the clip, there is a definite... tong, tong, tong... maybe like dropping a pot. |
