After doing some research I've found this is a pretty common problem on the ZXR's, usually caused by the tensioner being worn out. So, considering how important the cam chain is (I had one go on a car once, not pretty!) I thought I'd best crack on and replace it. There's absolutely sod all in the manual about it though, it only covers the external part of the tensioner (which I've removed, checked and replaced as per the manual) so I was wondering if anyone has replaced one of these and had an idea of what needs to be done?
What I think needs to be done is removing the external part of the tensioner, then the rocker cover, cam guide and cams, then the clutch cover and then the internal part of the tensioner. Have I got the right idea there?
