Cam tensioner spring

Just another heads up on the cam chain tensioners... I had heard recently that a couple members here had checked the travel remaining on their tensioners and had found that the big spring had broken after reinstalling the tensioner cap. Well on mine, the spring got caught between the bearing and the pushrod. I was able to free them and it doesn't look like any damage was done, but I had only ridden less than 100 miles like that - not sure what would've happened with more mileage.
Take care when checking your tensioners...
