Hi all,
In my quest to quiet my bike, I figured at 23k miles it's probably time to replace the tensioner spring. I ordered the spring and all associated tensioner gaskets from bikebandit. A couple days ago it came in and yippee I got everything except the spring which was backordered. It said something about them not having any in the North American warehouses or whatever.
Anyways I pull the tensioner off to see what's going on. Not a speck of dirt ANYWHERE. Everything is nice and clean, and the spring looks like a.... well a spring. It is straight, isn't bent, but I have no idea if it's fatigued. I have nothing to compare it to, so I don't know if it's bad. I'm pretty sure it's the original so I'd like to replace it anyways having 23k miles. Does anyone know the part # for that on a '95 600? I'm looking at ronayers and bikebandit microfiche, but I'm not so sure if that's the suzuki number.
Also...I have noticed that on my yoshi headers, I have no exhaust gaskets. The stock 600's had gaskets, and the 750's don't according to bikebandit. Mine's a 600 with what appears to be the larger 750 header. I can almost feel the exhaust leaks around the top of the headers.... am I supposed to have gaskets? any ideas? :-k
