A few questions (Read 48 times)

MaconMan77 YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 14	A few questions 09/08/21 at 19:36:13 I just got a 2000 ls650 with under 14k miles and have been doing some research. What causes the cam chain tensioner to fully extend, chain stretching? The versy mod just a band aid, or longer term fix? When does the chain usually need replacement and do I have to pull the engine to do it? Anyone have a good link for a dependable speedo cable o ring?

chain stretching and some wear of the chain guides.

Long term fix but it doesn't eliminate replacing the chain at some point.

depends on how you use the bike, long rides will give you long chain life. Short rides, short life.

no

we just generally use a standard o-ring. the speedo seal is available, but I don't remember where.

LouSiana searched through lots of other 'zuki cable sets and discovered the correct stock OEM Suzuki ring lip seal hiding under part number 34943-11030 for $2.74 plus shipping. This ring lip seal has eluded us for years but it is now finally found and identified.

Watch out for when you go to order from Ron Eyers or Bike Bandit as the standard Japanese short hand description for "Tachometer Cable Oil Seal" is TACH CABLE OIL which is certainly misleading to the reader and goes a long way to explain why nobody could ever find this part number before now. Actually, it was found (and it was ignored) literally hundreds of times over all the years of parts list searching .....

The part actually looks like this:
