I bought the tool back in 2013, the dealer I am sure made a mistake as I paid $18 Canadian (about $14 American) I have used it 4 times now (paid for istelf many times)
So today I went for a ride and 2km into it my fuel light came on so I went home got my fuel canister with a bit of gas in it. I rode the bike dry (almost 5 years after my original post) I got 83km till empty back 5 years ago I got 63km. I also have 83000km
I bought the gs911 and then rented it out 8 times paid for the tool. I have the old yellow one I paid 300 Canadian for it in december 2012. I have also reset my service light every year or 10000 km, I have 75000km. The tool has well paid for itself
So this is a couple of years later. I checked the chain say at 75000km. Not enough slack yet to fit #4 in. As for the gasket stuff I used still holds from when I did the chain adjuster 25000km ago no leaks
So last fall my cam chain tensioner failed at 75000km and I went to the dealer ordered the tensioner online and the tool to install it. This when I found out the system was converted to a hydrolic so I then bought all the parts needed (around $600) I looked at it and decided not to do it because...
The difference of the numbering is from 1-4 the arc increases. At 75000km I was not able to fit #4 as over time the chain is stretching less.
One last tip if you do your own work, don't buy a gasket for the crazy money just buy a silicone gasket cement.
Easy to apply just run a bead on the...
I just got the parts for my hydraulic tensioner. I have a manual for the mechanical tensioner.
I need some info for the hydraulic tensioner, at the top there is a hollow bolt 10mm and at the bottom there is a Bango bolt, what torque do I tighten them down to?
Please help for those that have a...
I realize it is a paper weight back in the early days 2013 a few engines were replaced, the dealers just gave new bikes away instead of fixing. I am buying the parts (I got the tensioner last week and that is when I heard the system was changed) now I have to order the rest of the parts. This sucks

Was a the cam chain tensioner you had replaced with the hydraulic one the origional or the replacemt for the origional
I have 2013 and my bike was fixed under recall back in the day 6 years ago the one they put in was still a mechanical one like your old one. Last week was the first time I...
Get paperwork showing the belt and chain adjuster has been replaced (with #2), rollers and sliders have been replaced. Make sure the oil has also been changed in the last couple of months. I have the first scooter off the boat in 2012 and it has run flawlessly. (I don't trust dealers so I do my...
I bought mine at the dealer first I bought #2 & #3. When I installed #3 I then bought #4 and will be installing it at the end of the season. I am replacing them at 25000km not the recommended 20000km when I hit 100000km I will then replace the chain and then install #1 back in
Do not throw them...
