Default 2004 Deuce engine - same cam-chain problems?
I'm just about ready to start all my winter maintenance. My engine has 32,000 km's on it. Was the wearing cam-chain tensionner problem fixed by this time, or should I pull the cover off and inspect them? I know removing my V&H Bigshots to do it will be a PITA, but what can you do?

Anyone know, or was this problem with earlier TC88 engines only?

Thanks.

Cannon

No you will need to check the tensioners and probably change them. They are good for 30000 to 40000 miles.
