    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Go check Basscliff's site. There is a tutorial.

Mine was also leaking. I ordered the gaskets first the dismantled the tensionner.

I found the smoking gun.

There was NO gasket between it and the engine:eek:.

Make sure you read the manual before pulling it off. It's a dead easy job but if you don't follow the procedure you could be in trouble.
 
..And What Mr. Hampshire means is if you were to muck this up it could cause your pstons to slam into your vavles, trashing your motor. Yes, its fun to repair
 
Yes, it's very simple to repair, but even easier to mess things up if you don't do it right. :eek:

I have not been following any of your posts to remember what all you have done to the bike, but this would be a good time to do a bunch of other stuff, too.

You definitely have to remove the carbs to get the tensioner off. Have you cleaned them and replaced their o-rings?

Although it's not necessary, it would be a good time to do a valve adjustment, since you are going to be working at the top of the engine, anyway.

I haven't messed with anything other than a gasket replacement. I'm researching before I get into it. thanks for the tips
 
Rebuilding the cct is pretty easy. Just order the OEM seals and follow the guide on Bwringer's(?) site. There is a link on BassCliff's page.
