[QUOTE="jdegase, post: 23783, member: 295"] The main chain is deep inside the motor and is quite large wide chain [img]https://img813.imageshack.us/img813/7467/mchain1.jpg[/img] and they do make some noise in most goldwings. notice to the right of the chain is a [u]automatic[/u] tensioner, and to the left is a wear-bar or slide... I think the reason they tell you to remove the fake tank is because they are removing the radiator... see the filler neck goes way up inside the tank skin ... and is almost impossible to get to with the skin on.. its very hard to remove the over flow hose and get the cap off with my tank in place... and if you remove the lower hose, or neck.. you'll certainly have to refill the radiator.. this is hard with the tank skin on, much easier with the skin removed :D good news is there are some great mods you can do to your new ride as you progress through this fix... theres a tank cover mod, to make the take open farther. you can leave the 2 front bolts out of the tank skin so its much easier to remove next time... once you pull the lower radiator neck you can check the inpeller on the pump for play... I'v heard mentioned about a mod to the inside timing belt cover bolts... but havent done it as yet to mine.. dont swet it you'll get very good at pulling the tank skin and seat.. [/QUOTE]
