Susan will have to put this one in the Rubber Side Down section, but....

What year is the bike, and how many miles?

As for the noise....what does it sound like?

Replacing it is just time consuming and can be done when you do the leak repair. You'll have to remove the cam shaft gear and the primary drive gear from the crankshaft. There is also a little trick to the tensioner since you probably won't have that special Suzuki tool, too.
