You would know if the tensioner let loose. But I have seen them release and break valves. Just wanted to let you know incase you actually forgot it. You should measure the drop on the plunger and if it's 16mm or more you'll need the spacer installed. The about 25 mm of plunger travel then its time for new guides amd chain. Which is nothing for you guys to do.

And that spacer to install if required you kindly wrote a thread about an easy cheap cut off bolt from memory.

Paint can rattle?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?!? :eek: What was the cast for then? :rolleyes: Best of fortune and please keep us ABREAST!!! :p I survived!!!!! :)

the spacer can be made from a 10 mm bolt shank about 8.89 mm long.

Looks like you already posted the correct procedure Warp while I was searching for it.

the tool T3880068 is costly when you can just measure it with a set of calipers. It is measuring the drop to the first shoulder like where the ink pen is pointing to in the picture below.

Of course this is done whilst the tension is still on the bike not when it is sitting on you laptop

Jim do not buy the tool. Lol
Wow we can make a spacer 10 mm bolt from the pan full of 10 mm bolts we have left over.

Not paying $100 (or even $45 for used) for a piece of plastic!!

Q. I found this thing in the box of leftover bits. Is it needed or can i put it on Craigs List??

Well as a boat anchor it will probably work. I'd suggest using the whole bike but since it aint running Picking it up and throwing overboard is going to be hard.

Tested lights and ALL running lights were out again and fuse was blown.

Diagnosed it to be a short inside one of the aftermarket license plate LEDs. Hoping anyways! Will carry on with one and consider if it’s worth buying a replacement later on.

Just a thought:
Since you have LED headlights, did you remove the park light sockets? These tend to short out if not populated with a bulb. VERY common source of park fuse blowing when LED headlights are installed

They are gone on this one. Good reminder though!

I got burned by that before! 5A fuse for optional bulbs goes and bike won’t start!

Glad it worked out Jim and your a true Hero Herman! Glad you only saw this after the fix otherwise I am unsure you would not be tempted to ask for a trade in ....
