=) Yep really haven't had any issues until recently, well still haven't so far. Now this ticking got so loud it really sounds to me there is something wrong. I use Motul 5100 10w-40 and a Mobil M1 in my bike. It's not been ridden very hard but I definitely rev it up... At least used to until...

Thanks Scott Just took the cam chain tensioner out. It's working very smoothly and looks perfectly fine. But wow, that was seriously but it back inside, felt like I needed another hand to keep the screw inside the tensioner in place. As for the tensioner, it is certainly not at its limit. It...
