Like Dave Lister said in Red Dwarf:
How the smeg can the same smeg happen to the same guy twice?
The smegging spring in my cam chain tensioner has snapped again!!!!!!!!!!
Dont know what damage has occured this time. Bike was in warm up mode on the drive before going to work, then it just stopped. Thought I might not have put enough choke on, so pressed the starter and nowt. Starter motor whizzing round then clonk zero. Back in shed, lift with the wife.
Booked half a day and came home, first thing I did was take the tensioner out and sho nuff, broken spring :'(
Have to have a more in depth look at the weekend, but last time it was nine bent inlet valves and a head swap :eek
By coincidence, at the Bike Shed the other week I noticed someone had a bloody great bolt where the tensioner should have been. Who was that and why?
To any Newbie Gen 1 owners out there, dont worry about this, apparently its not a common fault, its just that I was really evil mass murdering son of a bitch in a previous existence, probably Hitler or someone

Its better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake.
