I'm picking up an 09 with 23k, and had been reading horror stories about these chain followers on the twin cam engines. I'm used to dealing with them on cars, but some of these internet freakout artists are making it sound a lot worse. Thanks for the post. That being said, I'm still going to pull the cover and have a peek.

Here is the post I was referring too. guys bike had less than 50K miles. Look at the pics. Im sure its a rare case as most have reported many thousands of miles on the original tensioner shoes.

I remember reading that thread. I'm not saying it's the cause of the failure but the engine in that thread had a ton of mods done to it and he talks about how hard he rides. The more performance mods, the more reliability becomes questionable. Even his indy builder was surprised and had no clue.

But he only ran it out of oil once
