Back again cluttering the forum with my random questions as I work on my bike. I'm pretty sure my cam chain tensioner is shot because the cam chain is very loud, doesn't sound pleasant, and I see it's pretty common. Just a lot of clicky clacking noise coming from that side in general.
What is the easiest way on this bike to ensure the chain doesn't jump when I remove the current one? Do I need to take the timing gear side cover off? And if so, is the gasket reusable by any chance? I'm thinking if I do remove the cover I could zip tie the chain, so I know it didn't move any teeth on the cams when I remove the old one.
Thanks for whatever info you can offer. This is an easy job just figured I would turn to the forum for safety sake, considering the motor is on the line.
