cam chain tensioner problems.

Post by dukes7 »

over the last weekend my Cam Chain Tensioner went pop whilst out in the wild's of Scotland. Is this a common problem? and why does it happen? Due to the location I had to nurse the bike for 75miles to civilisation. Could this :oops: have caused major damage? I have a machanical friend coming out to inspect the damage next week, any ideas on what to expect. Apart from a horrible and loud banging noise there was no apparant loss of power or smoke from the exhausts. He has worked on a number of storms in the past and has indicated possible very costly conseqences.Yelp!!!! :?
