[QUOTE="Smooth_Gary, post: 605682, member: 14687"] i had that cam chain noise,,so i took it in thinking i was still under extended warranty,,well it turns out that a 3 yr extended warranty is 2yrs plus the factory warranty of 1 yr,,bunch of shit,,anyway the warranty ran out in may,,they had the bike tore down,,so i told them to change the cam chain and tensioner $120 in parts and 5hrs labor ,,they owed me for an ignition switch i installed and the labor time it takes to install it,,which was $143 for the switch and 2 hours labor,,yamaha payed for the parts,,so i payed the $268 labor difference,,the noise is gone,,bike runs good,,but i cant see anything wrong with the tensioner,,and the chain doesnt look that worn,,i took the tensioner apart and it is a shitty method ,the spring n everthing looked ok,,,i am thinking either they wind it to tight n the spring breaks n it threads back in becoming loose,,or the spring isnt wound tight enough n the plunger doesnt come out all the way,,,it sounds good runs cherry,,no excess noise [/QUOTE]
