Crass Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Just thought I'd post up this information in case it is of use to anyone, as I know the issue of camchain tensioner springs becoming tired with age is a well known one. I've just replaced my spring on a 750L Slingy as a precaution, as the motor is a little noisy and I have no information with the bike to suggest that the tensioner spring present is anything but original (bike has now done 35k). So, the pic shows the length of the removed spring as compared to a new one. New spring length is 95mm and the old one is 90mm (looks a bit different due to perspective on the photo but trust me). So there's the length of an as-new healthy spring if you remove yours and are wondering if it has been affected by creep. This spring is part no. is 12833-27A00 but I'm guessing it's a common part across a range of different years and models. Edited December 12, 2015 by Crass Crap grammar 1 Quote Link to comment
