recall issues cam tensioner or?
has anyone had any recalls notices on anything,i know,my bike is a 02 road king with approx 50.000 miles,find it hard to believe there has been no issues, if not there should be especially on cam tensioner seeing it is a common problem,and every dealer will tell you that
i know sometimes there are hidden recalls that hardly anyone knows about,maybe it,s time to start checking or complaining about some of these so-called common problems the cost a fortune to fix

Recalls are only for safety issues. The tensioner pads wear because they rub against the chain. I'd be supprised if they didn't wear. I had a K series BMW bike and the timming chain tension pads had to be replaced every 30k according to BMW. The only problem with the Harley tensioners is that Harley never identified then as a possible wear item. 50k is a good life, replace them and ride another 50k.

50K ?
Check the tensioners ASAP.
Remove the junk and go to gear drive, you will love it.

it's going to look mighty ugly in there i'm thinking. can't be much left. there is a kit that has a cam plate and the newer style chain and hydraulic plunger that works great, but you'd have to also change cams because it's a different type of chain. by the time you went through all that monkey motion you could have had gear drive cams. great that it lasted that long. good luck.
