[QUOTE="awitowsk, post: 522584, member: 16710"] Yeah, I read that horror story about the timing. I parked it until I get it figured out, can't work on it until this weekend. I tried the crazy post I read about opening it up to help the tensioner adjust. All it did was prove that with an open helmet and earplugs out the sound is audible to 7k, not 3500. Been riding my zx12r the last couple days, glad I didn't sell it yet, had forgotten how different it is. This weekend I am going to try sneaking the bolt covering the adjuster out and fiddling with it a bit to see if it does anything -- If so I know its the tensioner. I am also thinking of changing the oil this weekend. Luckily I ordered some filters when I ordered my vstrom handguards (which I have a question on once I get the ticking figured out) Without a huge debate, are there any oil suggestions with the tensioner/cam chain in mind that may make any difference?
