[QUOTE="Brodie, post: 1320921, member: 3372"] I ran a manual cam chain tensioner for many, many years, it only needed adjusting a couple of times. That said, I am currently running the latest (Green Dot) automatic cam chain tensioner from Yamaha. Years ago when I first contacted APE and went through the design process with them there were several first gen. bikes which had their cam chains slip a couple of teeth. It wasn't pretty, and Yamaha had yet to update their part. Since then there have been 2 updates to the OEM design which made it much more reliable. If you have an '09 or earlier FJR and haven't replaced this critical item, you are running on borrowed time. Get it done!
