Hey everyone,
My cam chain slipped a tooth when I was changing out my cam tensioner :spank: Totally my fault, I'm so frustrated.
My bike still has a stable idle, but now at about 100 rpm less than usual. It sounds a lot deeper and less smooth at idle and at all rpm ranges (it kind of sounds like it's growling).
It revs normally, but when the rpms come down the engine seems to pause/stumble for a split second.
I have three questions:
1) If all of the valve clearances are within spec, is that a guarantee that the valves aren't bent?
2) If I do a compression test and none of the cylinders have 0 compression, is that also a guarantee?
3) Given how my bike now runs, how likely is it that only the timing is messed up, and not the valves? Thanks guys
