Yeah, I had thought about the new cam and carb, but i'm just trying to get this thing safe to scoot around on until i can afford something bigger.
I know, I know, bigger isn't always better.... but i'd like to be able to do at least 120 on my next bike.

While replacing the timing chain tensioner, do you have to lock the cam or crank in place? or can you remove the timing chain tensioner without worrying about it jumping time?

If you have to keep tension on the chain..... vice grips to keep tension on it???? any ideas?

~Pip Jones

is that 120 mph or just 120 miles in between fill ups

Yeah 120 miles per hour

I do love my bike, I just want one that i can take out on VERY long roadtrips. I live in Fort Worth TX and my wife is from Midland TX and we travel there like once a month. I'd like a bike that can get us both there comfortably and without having to stop 4 or 5 times for fuel.

I do need to fix this issue tho. I'll update again when i look at the status of the tensioner.

Thanks for the help!

You want a bike with the power to overcome the suction West Texas creates. Going into that part of the world makes me cringe. We had a house on Bellaire in Midland. I hope I never have to go west of Abilene again.

But I def need a bigger bike to counteract the WEST TEXAS winds and what not. But thats for a later date..... Today SAVAGE..... Tomorrow...... Who knows.
