F---- Cam chain Again!!!!!
« on: October 24, 2008, 10:10:25 PM »
Ok guys , guess what i have another bad Cam chain...230 miles after a new one installed from the place i bought it..I had to eat the last one because of out of warranty..sorry to say i wont eat this one..I go out to take it for a ride, let it warm up ,give it alittle gas and let off and heres the cam chain noise like its hitting the valve cover..The same noise that i heard before i replaced the last one..This is BULLSHIT that this is happening to a new bike..I didn't take it to the track, just work and one bike show and hop on it one time..WHAT THE FUCK :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :evil:

Put a manual tensioner, adjusted correctly, in it and be done with it.

The big wig from Suzuki is going to look at it this time..They dint understand that happenping again..They said they will pay for everything to be fixed..There a good shop..240 miles on a chain is crazy.. Tensioner didn't go bad last time either..Chain just stretched to far..
