Hey fellas,
I've been tearing into my 78 KZ400 motor the last few weeks to try and bring some life back into my bike. During the teardown I noticed that my cam chain tensioner had stress cranks along it and had started to chip apart. Seeing as these are no longer being produced, i've tried to source some sort of replacement / fix. This seems to be a fairly common issue.
What have you guys done in order to fix this issue? Does anyone know the name of a plastic material that can stand the heat and wear stresses of a motor?
Cheers,
Jared
