In a previous thread, I've seen that the OEM cam chain tensioner can be replaced by an automatic version from other bikes. Does anyone have any 100% tried and tested information regarding which specific bike(s) such a tensioner can be taken from and used safely on an XS1100?
Also, what is the principle of the automatic adjuster? Is it merely a spring-loaded plunger permanently pushing? If so, won't this lead to cam chain guide wear?
