Whoops.. chain tensioner bolt. Help (Read 85 times)

savagebob Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 235	Whoops.. chain tensioner bolt. Help 02/10/18 at 18:19:20 Mucking around a bit hungover today looking for a good place to mount a temp sensor.. absentmindedly undid the chain tensioner bolt from the cylinder head. Now.. is there any magical way I'm going to be able to put that back without disassembling everything? Sigh

I didn't even need to take the whole bolt out ha ha. Is that a good spot for a temp sensor to go to measure head temps?

Help Reply #5 - 02/11/18 at 13:46:53 What about removing the tank and using the head-stud beside the spark plug? That seems like the easiest head-stud to access without having to remove the cam cover. I was going to put it under the spark-plug but it looked like the plug wouldn't seat properly if I did that.

Help Reply #7 - 02/11/18 at 15:10:01 I bought an infrared laser guided thermometer of Amazon for $13 great for measuring all over the bike. You can even open the oil filler plug and point it down there as well as over various parts of the engine. It's accurate too.
