Consumer Description

AT INITIAL COLD START AND UNDER LOAD BETWEEN 3000-4000 RPM THERE IS A NOTICEABLE RATTLE/TICK FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE AT THE CAM CHAIN TENSIONER. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT SEEMS THE TENSIONER DOES NOT HOLD TENSION WHICH CAN LEAD TO PREMATURE WEAR, BREAKAGE, OR ENGINE FAILURE. FOLLOWING YAMAHA PROCEDURE FOR CAM CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT PROVES THAT THE TENSIONER IS MALFUNCTIONING BY WATCHING THE HEX KEY TOOL BACK OFF (LOOSEN) AFTER MAKING ADJUSTMENT AND EVENTUALLY CAUSING RATTLE/TICK AGAIN. CONTACTING YAMAHA DEALERSHIP ALSO CONFIRMED ISSUE, BEING INFORMED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE REVISIONS MADE (UPDATED PARTS) BUT STILL NO CONFIRMATION ON PERMANENT FIX. *TR
