We must think alike.  I watched several bikes yesterday being ridden hard.  Really hard. And I suppose, theoretically speaking, above the posted limit for mph for that particular area, but that can be subjective.  I was hanging onto the handlebars of one of them even so had a good view plus what I saw in the rear view.  Not a single cam tensioner failed & the shifting patterns were all good - at least they stayed below red line.


Improper shifting may be the culprit here as well on tensioner failures.

Actually, I was simply shamelessly stealing your point of humor.   :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2:

My head is somewhat swollen since it appears I had a point that was steal worthy.   :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:  It could be the way I shift the bike...... ;)

You mean you've converted to a 'hand-shift' or something other than the conventional footshift?  I've often wondered if riding style (ie: lugging/high RPM's/abrupt throttle roll-off/etc.) could have anything to do w/ the diff. in life of the tensioners on diff. bikes.   :-\  spyder

RPM espcially high rpm likely does.  Clutch wear is increased, also.   Henry & I are referring to a strange/weird comment I got eearlier this week about 6th gear shifting from HD in Daytona.

Can't get over the humor of that post.  Evidently I must go to HD of Daytona and be confirmed as terminally Stooooooooopid.   :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2:

Shifting patterns.  :ROFLOL:

Do ya think Rod will teach me how to properly shift so I don't cause leaks on my new 117 and Baker OD6?   :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2:

Proper shifting - again no cam chain failures.
