Just fitted my manual tensioner, not as easy as everyone says, but close!!!

No more rattles, no more rough idle, nice quick throttle response, no funny noise under low rev loads, and all for £40 quid!!!! and no more sleepless nights worrying!

yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa

And, stock one?? well, it has 1/2 " free play in the end before spring thing kicks in, and if you push the plunger, for some reason, every 4th push it goes right the way in, JUST BY HAND!!!!

thank god its out. Its staying out.
Marvellous
Must go and celebrate

Glad you are that pleased. Pretty cheap price to pay to keep from destroying the motor, right?

Hey Nuts put that trash in the mail to themotorhead let him tell us what's the deal?

 

[Guest]

I told you you would not be disapointed. Good riding chap.

I would love to mail it to TMH, but I now have a dilemma........

Dealership are going to replace my stock tensioner for me (I took JC's advice), if they don't know about it, they can't fix it and rang the dealer. He already knew I had a problem and had listened to it before to confirm the problem.

I want them to know. SO I'm getting a replacement, but.....they have to take the old one from the bike and fit the new one.......so, next friday, I have to reinstall auto, either ride or trailer bike to dealers, get them to change for new one, bring home, and put in manual one again!!!!

oh what joy!!!

But, at least its okay at the moment!!

The stock tensioner is 3rd change of 3 pinky spots for my bike, next week will be 4th!!

How did I guess this post was going to be about getting your tensioner??!!

Good news

Got my bike half in bits at the moment, finish installing mine tomorrow.

Have to say bike looks ****ing awesome without the bodywork, more like a race bike from a few years back! - and that frame! No wonder the thing is so solid at speed!

I think you'd be mad to take it to bits again, though - just tell the dealer to leave well alone!


On second thoughts, can't you persuade him to s-a-y he took the old one off, get my drift???

Tried that. He was adamant....

I could trailer it there and push it round the corner.......

I wondered what happened to Adam Ant!

he's obviously better off as a Bike dealer!

Hey NumbNuts...did installing the manual tensioner get rid of the ~3K RPM stumble? Just wondering if your timing chain slopping around had something to do with it.

 

[OB_Don]

Where did you get the manual tensioner from in the UK ?

Thanks,

Don

Right, Um, stumble still there, Gasabusa rode it for me yesterday, he said, "you have a problem there!"

It certially picks up quicker, and is much crisper on the throttle.
