Cam Chain ?
09/05/08 at 15:55:41

We all know about the horrors of a loose cam chain, but what about to tight? Is that even possible? A welder buddy of mine did the extra hole mod on the tensioner for me, but reassembly was tight. I mean really tight. The tensioner is all the way in. And still pushing. I think he might have put the second hole a little to far away from the first (made the mod to long). Huh

Red '97, cone filter, 150 main, 52.5 Pilot, half spacer, Screaming Eagle turnout, 17/43 chain drive, shield, de-badged, 4" forward control extensions. Gettin' there.

So, yup, I'm too tight. Bike is gonna be down for a few days, (see new thread) so I'll see if I can't get it sorted. Thanks for the info verslagen.

Reply #7 - 09/07/08 at 08:34:12 Initial installation with verslavy or other mods: the tensioner should be 2 klicks ( of the ratched) out. ( from the recommendation of Norbert the German camchain guru)
