Cam Chain Tensioner failure?
I am not trying to be lazy, because i did search the forum to see if anyone has had a cam chain tentioner fail on them, but has anyone had any problems? it cost me 1200 bucks on my KLR!! so i felt like it was a good question to ask.
Thanks

sorry lazn, the link didnt work for me 
so... im at 22,000 miles and about to go on a 3500 mile trip through the neches trail and then some from dallas. I'm guessing its probably smart to do the switch to the APE cct's before the trip?

I wonder if we could just screw a bolt against the inside screw head, it would pinch the tensioner and pin it in place ?? I can't find the thread that were describing the exact component that fails, but I think it was the springs. At least it would take the slop out of the threads. Some people seem to do this for the noisy CCT's

at the end about pulling springs and adding a bolt. when looking at video right click and save as..or it blows up when you try to stream it.(at least for me )
