Default 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.

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!!!

Default 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!!!

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!!
could you post a link to the site you downloaded the manual from? I can only find them for sale.
