    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I took apart my cam chain tensioner to replace those damn leaking orings and that oil seal, but I lost the black knob using for setting it! is there a part number for this item or an easy way to replace this part?? (not on the fiche, but neither are the orings)
Thanks!

Bike is an '82 gs650.

Do you mean the knurled knob that turns the exposed spring? Lots of suzuki gs cam tensioners pop up on ebay-probably have similar knobs if nothing else.

Yes, the black knurled knob -- you turn it and hold it in place while you push in the rod and lock it down with the screw. I lost that and I was trying to find a way not to pay $20 for that part lol. I see them on ebay, but just trying to save a buck.:)

Try a salvage yard! the knob not only fits the shaft, but anchors the spring.
 
I have a two hole tensioner with a black knob on it.
Pay shipping and it's yours
