Re: Cam chain re-adjustments
It sounds like the spring has broken. They are not really "user serviceable" parts, certainly you won't be able to buy a new spring. The tensioners on the 99-02 bikes are known to be problematic - now is a good time to fit some later ones.

Re: Cam chain re-adjustments
They extend as you remove them, that is normal.
How are you adjusting it to make it tight?

So yeah, new one then... K3's, might as well replace them both if I can get a pair. |
