Hello everyone !
I bought a 2015 gs about 14 months ago with 10k miles on it. As soon as I got it I change oil; filter, disassembled drive shaft to inspect and grease both spline, had to purge abs pump (had zero resistance in rear brake lever) changed spark plugs etc to have a fresh start on maintenance as I write down everything that I do on all my bikes to have record.
Now, about 2 months ago the bike started to make more noise at higher rpm; around 3900 and up.
Valve clearance is within specs, left cam chain is tight, Right cylinder cam chain super loose. (Bike as now 13k miles) I changed the cam chain tensioner ($165 for 1, really?...grr) I notice that the spring is about 3 mm longer than the one I took off the bike and the washer a bit thicker which i couldnt use cuz it was not flat and oval..... Bike still have that noise at higher rpm. I haven't open the cover again to check if there is too much slack in it. I understand that oil pressure is needed for proper tension.
So, beside the tensioner, what do I need to check ?
