[QUOTE="griff, post: 386375, member: 1658"] My 03 has 45k and I am checking valves (have to replace shims on both cams) so I decided to replace the cam chain tensioner and cam chain while I'm at it (had some noise in the cam chain tensioner area). Ionbeam says I can get the cam chain by the ignition rotor without having to take it off (I think that's what he said, but I can't PM him because his mail box is full now - Hey, Ionbeam pm me!!) So I'm wondering if others have replaced the cam chain without removing the rotor - the manual says to remove the rotor you have to hold the generator sheave on the other side while removing the rotor bolt. I hope I don't have to go that way since I just put the new stator in and don't want to have to take that cover off again. Thanks for the help griff/Carl [/QUOTE]
