GS1100 Cam Chain Tensioner Oil Leak

[Street Fighter]

Has any one had a A.P.E. cam chain adjuster o ring leak.
and how did you change the o ring .

[Agemax]

i have not got an APE tensioner but i guess you should take the pressure off the tensioner, remove it, replace o ring with one the same size and refit. smear some grease round the new o ring before fitting. then reset the tensioner.
do not turn the engine over with the tensioner removed.

the o ring is inside the tensioner I cant remove the set screw because it has the end on it that goes up against the chain and it don't come off.

it must come apart somehow. someone else who knows more about them should be along soon to help you out

There is an o-ring under the lock nut. It can be change without removing the tensioner.

Chef how does it come off do you pull the pin out or just stretch the o ring over it.
APE says send it back

There is an allen bolt holding the outside nut on or just slip it off the nut. I would just rub a little high heat silicon on the o-ring and re-install. I always put a little on when I put it back on.

could you take a picture of yours maybe I could convert mine to a allen bolt style.
