hi guys,
i've pulled the cylinders off my engine, and as i suspected, the tensioner roller is a mashed piece of rubber. the guide is a little worn as well, but i'm not sure if that needs to be replaced.
what are my options? i don't really want to spend alot of money on a boretech slipper, but i also don't want to have to do another engine rebuild while i own this bike. ohiocaferacers mentioned something about extinct metal rollers somewhere as well. are these a better/cheaper option then the stock rollers?
i assume all the stock parts are still available from honda, if not i can still get them from europe.
i'd appreciate hearing some pro's and cons of all of the options, instead of just reading 'if you're racing use a slipper' which doesn't really help me. thanks
