While you are in there don't forget to ditch the bearngs for torrington ones. Did you guy measure the runout on your crank?

Do some research on the new style tensioner conversions.
Less risk of problems related to gear drive, and a quieter ride too.

LOL, no the tensioners are actually pretty worn. He actually took me to the bike and showed me the damage and answered all my stupid questions. I will be going with the gear drive system.
