Predator Problems
this does happen. My freind's '05 chain stretched to that point within a year. Twice it was idling and went *PUH!* and shut off and when we pulled the valve cover we found it had un-timed itself. A new chain fixed his.

Predator Problems
My buddy picked up the chain and tensioner this morning and we got it put back together just a few minutes ago. Its running great!! This bike has some *****, I was surprised how well its running now. I thought my bike ran good. I think I might get a jet kit, filter and pipe for mine now seeing how good his is. Thanks for all the help!!!

Predator Problems
Just got back from an all day ride! The predators running great but about 1/2 hr. into the ride his front shock pulled out of the bottom mount. We tore it apart and tried to thread it back in but it was stripped, so we had to bring it back home and we just welded it. Works fine now figured he'd have to buy another one anyway so we tried and it worked!!!

Well I found a shop manual online and downloaded it (FREE!!!!) and the thing is way out of time. Tore it apart got everything lined up and threw it back together, hit the starter and low and behold the monster came alive. After about 30 seconds it died again check the cams and out of time again. So he ordered a timing chain and tensioner. Should have the parts by the end of the week so I'll let you know next weekend. This should do the trick as everything else looks good. Thanks for all the suggestions!!
