That would have to be one helluva drop....like from the 10th story. If you don't hear it hitting, I wouldn't worry about it.
He dropped it on his bench grinder...

Thanks everyone for your input.
I am going to take care of modding the tensioner and then I am going to close it up and not worry about it.

I've got 4,800 miles on mine, checked the tensioner and 13.5mm of the tensioner piston is showing (measured like savage 1987 did above). Sounds like this is ok, but since the clutch cover is off and the bike won't be running for a few weeks, I'm thinking about doing the verslagen mod.
Any suggestions?

Makes me wonder if other bikes have similar issues with the chain stretching out so fast.

Runrun, I'd say you have some time left, but as long as it's apart, might as well get 'er done, and not have to worry about it. When I got mine done and installed, it is better than new. Piston is all the way in. Well worth the money and peace of mind.

rough estimate is 1k miles per mm, so check back in 5k miles.

thanks drums1, will do. plus, doing it now saves the cost of another clutch cover gasket ($18) if i were to do it later.
