Have done 15,000 miles since March 1st 2000.
have just put in manual adjuster (this arvo) auto one can be pushed in by hand. same as all the others after I heard the noise.
Dont do wheelies, burnouts, etc.
these 3 pink dot tensioners are breaking left right and centre over here.
manual. problem fixed.
I sent a mail to Suzuki today. saying that when I first got the bike people wanted to know about the performance and what it was like to ride etc. Now all they ask is hows the cam chain tensioner or hows the subframe. Good PR Suzuki!!
Lets see if I get a reply. Probably not.
this sucks. I am glad I have been able to pick up the noise before any damage (apparent damage that should read) has been done. Many have not been so lucky.
I dont know if it is the heat affecting the tension in the spring, the vibration, or what, maybe the spring just cant handle the repeated pounding it gets through accel and decel, and the tightening and loosening of the cam chain on the back run. Maybe a combination of all 3 I dont know.
Boss would probably be better able to answer this than I, or JP if he is still around.
Nuts
