My VT250 Spada had ugly rattles by 50,000km, I did the tensioners/chains and it started getting a wee bit of chain noise at 150,000km. Not bad if you ask me.

    Good luck, I'd practice removing the tensioners with the motor you have, just "dummy" it up with the tensioners in and get good at it. You may find that the oil holes for the tensioners have dirt or shit in them. Hopefully you'll have a sweet running motor after this and then you can ride the shit out of it.

    i still havent got the orginal tensions out the orginal motor, theres 2 bolts
    in the front cylinder casting well right at around the split in the case
    i have to get 10 mm socket that fits to get them undone the chain did seem very tight on the orginal engine , thanks for the advice i never done that job before
    i did have it done on my cbx 400 though by mechanic from chch honda dealer he did from home to save me some money was cool of him.
    actually i think just guide so no need to remove that.

    yes looking forward to riding bike again have had licence since was 15 , am 48 know have mx5 car but find cars good but just not the same as bike feel
    if chould break out from window may be little more fun hehe
    but found with bike i just want make excuse to go anywhere just for heel of it
    even just down the road to the shops
    keep you posted

    If you're not in a hurry I might be able to get the
    engine down to you, or at least pick it up and hold onto it till you can arrange something yourself sooner?

    Unless I strap it to the PackRack haha, a 250 motor is 9kg right?

    No stress. If you want me to pick it up send me a PM. And I'll hold it in the garage (on the shore).

    I'll be heading down to a track day sometime soon. If you can find someone to collect from hampton, might be able to get it a bit closer to palmy that way. Otherwise I can hold it for a while, until I have an excuse to head down that way.
