Title: Cam chain tensioner question Post by Terri W on 05/16/17 at 12:14:48 Bought my bike used (2001 Savage) and it has 10k+ miles on it. I'm pretty sure that the two previous owners didn't do much maintenance beyond oil changes. I'm seeing that many folks on here mention that it is a good idea to check out the cam chain tensioner. Can anyone direct me to where/what to snag for this as in parts? |

Title: Re: Cam chain tensioner question Post by Terri W on 05/16/17 at 13:29:32 PERFECT! Thanks for the link (pointing it out to me) And yes, I'm seriously addicted to this bike. My father-in-law is a serious Harley head but I fell in love with this bike and don't want another. Other than adding a luggage rack and removing the side bags, I'm keeping her stock cause she's perfect like she is. Hmmm... I have a few more posts to go before I can email Verslagen. |

I sell what is typically termed "made to order". However, the main ingredient is the modified plunger. If I have those, then turn around time is an hour. However, I don't have any at the present time. A batch is currently sitting on my welder table and glare/beg every day. |

Title: Re: Cam chain tensioner question Post by Steve H on 05/20/17 at 06:27:25 Hey Versy, What ever came of the spring in the mount pin area to lessen over tensioning of the chain? Did it work? Has it been incorporated? Just curious. |
|
Title: Re: Cam chain tensioner question Post by verslagen1 on 05/20/17 at 07:30:41 Made a couple, bought a lot of springs, still searching. |

Title: Re: Cam chain tensioner question Post by Steve H on 05/20/17 at 07:39:01 What about a greater distance between teeth? Not having held one in hand, I'm not sure this is even possible but it would allow more room to wear before catching the next tooth. I like the old Honda tensioner where you release the set screw to allow it to take up slack when you do your valves. The rest of the time the chain just runs at that set adjustment. |

Title: Re: Cam chain tensioner question Post by norm92de on 05/20/17 at 14:25:25 Steve, Eat your heart out ;D Did you read what Batman did? He took out the pawl and just lets it run on the spring only. He claims that it has been fine. I will do the same thing but for a solid rod in the middle of the spring to limit back movement initially. |
