Productive morning

With the help of my brother in-law Mike, I installed new MS clutch spring and cam chain tensioners this morning all told it took about 3.5 hours. Thanks to all here who gave me the confidence to tackle these jobs. Other than the left side tensioner it was a breeze. Mike handled that with ease once I got out of the way. Clutch is much more responsive, bike sounds quieter. Well time to ride.

Good for you, a lot of these jobs are not that bad once you attempt them. With the good instruction available on Gadgets site and here its hard to go wrong.
Just think of the money you saved in labour charges alone, that will buy you a good months worth of gas to go riding.

I hear ya! If I had to take my bike to the dealer for all the things I have been able to do, thanks to Kawanow, I don't think I could afford to keep her.

Glad you got the job finished with little to no problems. Makes you feel good once you finish a job yourself.
