Joelite44, By all means check the cam chain tensioner ,it could cause some very bad damage if it comes apart, and your mileage is past the point where you should be checking You can LAY your bike down on something soft (left side) , and you don't even have to drain the oil if ya don't want to. Check to see that the fuel tank is not very full !
Under that (Brake side) engine cover this is what you'll find except the stock plunger has only one hole , and the spring is "Way,Way" to strong. This is a picture of a chain with near 40,000 miles on the stock cam chain. The spring is only about 1/3 as strong as Suzuki had it and the extra hole extension is welded on. I took that over-strong spring out at an early age (4500'ish miles) so I never got the stretching that normally happens .
Versey makes them for us and his looks better than the rigging I did .
Form-a-gasket works just fine if ya know how to use it , so don't sweat it if ya tear th gasket ... but don't use "TOO" much gasket maker either .
