What is your primary malfunction soldier? Please learn this... Don't even think about overtightening your chain. Wise folk suggest setting the chain slack to no less than 5/8" and closer to 3/4" total up and down play when the chain is in its most taught position.

The Hayden M6 tensioner is not a reliable device in a Buell primary. Stay away from it.

Author Message   Blake Posted on Wednesday, August 31, 2005 - 02:57 am:        BadWeB is instituting a new format for all Knowledge Vault (KV) topics. The aim is to facilitate navigation and improve the performance of forum specific key word searches. Please therefore post new technically oriented questions via the "Start New Thread" link located at the bottom-left of each subtopic list and in the appropriate KV topic. Please try to word subject titles with keyword searching in mind, so that others with similar questions/problems might easily find applicable threads. It would also be very beneficial if we would include the year and model of the subject Buell motorcycle in parentheses, like ('97 M2), at the end of the subject title. That ain't too much to ask is it? Thanks, BadWeB Custodians
