Hi everyone my bike has been suffering the cam chain rattle. I got a new chain tensioner but the old one feels fine and moves freely . So wondering if it's worth fitting the new one ? Any advice would be great or if you live near Gloucester and could help I will love you long time

What is the mileage? Good service history? Could actually be the chain needs replacing.

Have you taken the old tensioner out yet? How many adjustment notches has it got left?

New chain time methinks. I charge around £300 all in to do them and I use a continuous chain not a split one with a soft link

Bit of an update . I took my engine out and popped it to a local friendly garage who changed the chain and did the timing etc . Now I gotta refit it . Good job it's raining .

Why did you take the engine out?
How much were you charged for the job?

Was £108 for the job . Saved a few quid on Labour plus I wanted to tidy some rusty bits on the inside of the frame.
