Hello there
Looks like I have a problem on my r1150gsa,
Engine started to sound not quiet right to sounding like crap,
On the forum I saw someone saying it is the tensioner on the left side so last night I took out tensioner and yeah its fecked,
The bit that was supposed to hold the spring has a hole in it which means it was hitting the chain , also it came out as one piece with the spring stuck in side , so I pointed camera into hole and I can see the chain but not any
plastic rail,
I have already asked the garage for a quote to fix it but ...
My question is , is it doable to do it myself,
How much of the engine do I need to strip to get at the bolts that hold the chain slide rail on?
And if the chain is worn will I have to change all the cogs that the new chain would touch?
I think I know already its a big expensive job which sucks.
Thanks for any advice and tips in advance
