...and now have a "rattle".
At Idle in neutral.....snap the throttle and it has a big rattle. Snap throttle again from anything above idle and no rattle.
Let it settle down to idle again ....and there it is again...the big rattle.
I have it apart now......the 3/8" 'gap' is only about 5/16" without shims on a 70k km chain.
This compensator only has about 3000 km on it.
Oil was quite black when I drained it before installing the Hayden...only 3000 km.
I have had a hayden years ago on another bike without issue....could it be the fluid (amsoil)?....or the fluid accentuated the compensator's failing again?
dayne,... looking threw your thread I have a Hayden M6 I've installed I just curious what was the issue with the tensioner?
What was causing it to make the rattle? What failed on it? Is it the springs not being up to the job ?
I ask because I've got a bit of a rattling/ heavy tapping/ clicking sort of noise that I haven't really pin pointed yet.
Top gear there's no noise it's more noticeable in lower gears, or like you described in "N" if I rev it up I can hear it, running slow in second/ thread gear it noticeable.
Thanks for any input.
