Cam Chain Tensioner

I think we nailed down the problem with compression. CAM CHAIN TENSIONER.
I took it off and it was really stiff to push in and out. It would stick in sometimes too.
This was causing a slack in the timing chain that I beleive was making the valves open prematurely.
I have ordered a new one from Z1 Enterprises.com and am anxious to get it and put it on. Hopefully this will take care of the compression problem, if so, then this baby will be up and running shortly.

I also finally added the oil to the front fork tubes and the seals that I installed seem to be working well.
I almost made the mistake of using the air compressor to put air in them, then the guys caught me. ONLY USE A HAND PUMP ON THIS. It can push way too much pressure into the forks causing damage if you do.

I'll let you all know how it goes and hopefully have some riding shots and footage soon.

Thanks for watching.
