Whist changing the crank position sensor, just for curiosity :augie I had to look inside the small cover above and to the right of the crankshaft one... what was behind it is pictured. :icon_eek:
Now I'm going to stay calm and wait for nice people to tell me that is just a broken off piece of the old cam
chain guide/tensioner which was accidently left in there by someone.
I can't see how it could be anything else as there is no room for it to have fallen through from somewhere, and
it shows signs of (a lot of) wear like a cam chain would cause. The motor sounds OK (for a steamer) not like you
would expect if a piece of the cam chain running gear was missing and the chain itself feels under enough tension.
I'm still calm, I'm not going to cry. :icon_rolleyes:
yep. looks like a broke tensioner to me
Thought so, looks the same shape as the bit above it... odd though :icon_scratch:
Spose that's the balance shaft in there then?

I hate to say it but I'm getting the feeling the last person that worked on the bike before you got was a graduate from BIT (Borg Institute of Technology)
