Hi everybody
I´m new to this great site, and this is my first post.
I have an 98´GSX-R 750 (FI) with 18K kilometers on the clock(aprox. 11K miles) , that I have bought from a guy that imported it from Italy, I my self live in Denmark (therefore I hope you will excuse my poor English :rolleyes )
Enough chitchat, now to my question.
I have read the "sticky" post about the manual Cam chain tensioner replacement, but unfortunately, it does not cover this issue.
I don´t know if the cam chain tensioner has been replaced on my bike, and I don´t want to take the chance and see what might happen, therefore my plan is to change it my self. I have ordered a "replacement kit" from the Suzuki distributor here in Denmark. The service technician i talked to, told me that the "upgraded" kit included some "guide rails" (I believe he said two guide rails, but are not sure) that needed to be replaced as well, the rails are some sort of "guide rails" fore the cam chain, and should be a bit wider than the original ones.
Does anybody know if I have to take out the camshaft(s) in order to be able to replace these guide rails?
If I look in the Service manual there are only described the complete engine removal, not if it is possible to do the chain guide replacement with or with out the camshafts in place.
Any comments regarding this issue, are very much appreciated.
