manual camchain tensioner fitment guide

[fazer-rat]

This attitude that you must do this or don't do unless such and such has done it bull crap
Everyone can make there own minds up
I've done it and I'm happy I did - I thought I'd share the experience
But one again I forgot about the keyboard hero's
It's a free world for now go enjoy it

always makes me smile luke,, its the peeps with no mechanical knowledge that i feel sorry for cos given the choice between this mod or a fancy set of grips they'd buy the grips lol.  they just don't understand that if one somewhere has failed it's a problem and if theirs fails it will cost them more than the bikes worth to pay for the repair.  you won't get any warning at all and up until the moment of sudden and dramatic catastrophe your bike will be perfectly normal in every way. it can fail on startup,, at low revs,, at high revs anytime the result will be the same.  anyone with mechanical knowledge will have one fitted immediately, anyone else i'd urge you to do the same.  lukes guide on fitting it is excellent and even my mum could follow it i reckon.  read the american and english z1300 forums about this type of problem.  we used to advise people once they bought a z1300 not to even start the engine until this type of mod was done cos of the rarity of spare parts.
