2006 FLHX Cam Chain Tensioners
At what point should I be concerned about checking these. Thinking about new cams anyway. Don't want to explode motor due to one or both tensioners letting loose. No noise yet from the cam cover area, just want to be ahead of any potential problems. Thanks...

I changed my '06 SG to gear drive at 18K. The tensioners needed changing badly as they were nearly metal to metal.
If you're going to keep the bike for some time I highly recommend investing in a gear drive. It's a far better way to go (over the hydraulic system) and you'll never think about tensioners of any kind again. Cost is about the same.

Back in '06 quality control on H-D cranks was much better than in later years so run-out shouldn't be as critical. Still it's always prudent to check it out anyway.
I didn't mention it because it's been covered almost as many times as oil preference.
And any shop doing gear drives checks run-out before buying the parts just to avoid liability.
Thanks for mentioning it just the same, though.
