Consumer Description

BALANCER TENSIONER SPRING FAILED. I HAD READ REPORTS ON THE INTERNET DESCTIBING THE BALANCER TENSIONER SYSTEM AS BEING PRONE TO FAILURE. I FOUND THAT THE TENSIONER SPRING HAD BROKEN WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE ENGINE CASE. THE MOTORCYCLE HAS 6706 MILES ON IT. I AM REPLACING THE SPRING AND TENSION ADJUSTER WITH AN IMPROVED AFTERMARKET KIT. THE FAILURE WAS FOUND BEFORE THERE WAS ANY MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE.*AK
