Hi all,
I have noticed a strange phenomenon on my busa: the cam chain noise is quite noticeable (and annoying) but here is the funny thing; as would be expected once the engine is hot the noise changes character somewhat but in my case is still present , But when I stop off at the shops for a while and then get back on the thing sometime latter it sounds like a completely different animal, much quieter, but only for a while or the rest of that trip.
What's going on here? This quiet moment is not always repeatable too.
I'm thinking of installing a manual tensioner which is said to cure the typical GSXR "diesel" sound. Has anyone here installed one? and how to gauge the correct tension?
PS I have a hydraulic one there now and is Ok (according to mech)
