Replacing Camchain tensioner

[dave_a]

Hope the cam chain guides & tensioner cure the tap.
Keep in mind that all 12 tappet buckets fit in holes that grow as the engine heats up. Anyone could be just a little small for the bore and make a noise. 10,000'ths of an inch tolerances can make a difference. Could be a lot of other things too. Most noise is harmless, but I can't hear your bike. Ear plugs are a beautiful thing!
Good luck

I'm also going through this. 48000kms and the 'old' spring measured 69.5mm. Due to various issues, I ended up buying a complete new tensioner from Triumph and was going to just replace the spring to see if that fixed the noise. When I removed the 'new' spring it only measured 70.5mm. I'm now waiting to hear back from parts guy who is going to talk to their workshop manager....

Is there any spec. for the spring? IIRC Triumph never gave a spec.
