lmao i know!!


Ok guys..... im sad and happy at the same time.. i figured it out..

Took off cam chain cover..... broke the piston tenshioner thing and my chain snapped in two... So umm any advice as to how much i should spend and where to get it... or better yet... anyone have some spare parts i can buy off you and pay for shipping.??

I'll put up some pictures later on.

Try justin's reccommendation first.

Next the cam chain, drop the oil, remove right peg, remove header and muffler, remove oil filter, clean around the edge of the cover, remove bolts on cover, note which ones have seals!, note which ones are long (only 2 lengths, only 2 are long), disconnect clutch cable, use clutch lever to pop cover loose only, pry alittle at front to even it out stop at 1/8" gap, check gasket, what side is it stuck to, make sure it's all the same side, pull the cover off.

Take 2 beers, call us in the morning.

what did you find?

sweet, i found the chain snapped in two and the tenshioner apart like this "Lucky" post's looked like, not a pretty sight.

The chain runs up through a cavity along the cylinder through the head and around the cam gear and back down to the chain sprocket behind the primary drive gear.

oh and whats your guy's most reliable parts dealer?

I usually get my parts from my local Suzuki Stealership

reliable?  I guess that means delivers on time.

You have to call them to make sure they have parts on hand.  Then they are reliable.  Otherwise, most will take up to 2 weeks.

remove tank, don't need to but remove carb, remove top support, get manual, read tech section post, print pict of head cover, poke bolts in it as you remove them, curse cause you just twisted a head off of one, order replacement, get manual cause I don't remember the rest.

Make sure you match up what you need with a picture of it.  The names we use don't always match what they call it.  If you order a tensioner, you get the rear guide.  order the guide you get the front guide and you can't replace that unless you take off the head.  I'd order the tensioner, adjuster and chain for sure.  since you're ordering, clutch gasket whether you replace it or not.  And you might consider ordering a few of the bolts for the head cover cause you might twist off one or two, I did.  And won't be your fault.  bolts are either damaged durring install or over time, not sure.
