    GS 750 cam chain tensioner blades

    hi all
    i am at the stage of re fitting the cylinder head on my GS750, the Haynes manual states to ensure the forward blade is not allowed to float as chain damage can occur, i am not 100 percent clear on how the blade locates at the bottom as it looks like it just sits loosely in the guide at the bottom but it could move, any help in clarifying this greatly appreciated

    To me, it appears the front guide just rests on part#3 in this layout

      Yes it fits in/on part 3 the 850 is the same got to admit I looked at it several times with a torch before fitting mine.

        thanks, that's what it appears to me, just wondered if it had to be anchored somehow,
        cheers

            Hopefully you've sorted this but...just in case. When I fitted my tensioner, the bottom slips into the guide (after about a dozen attempts) and on my GS750 it locates into a channel at the top of the block. I found that it had a tendency to lift and pop out of the top channel but a bit of wiggling and it seated just fine.

              not done it yet, just sorting out the valves, i do see now it just slips into the guide at the bottom, i was told to put it behind it but i never thought that would be right ,hopefully all will fall into place when the head is ready to go on soon
