XR600R Cylinder head removal

Ops, tensioner.

Yep - knew about tensioner. Was about to put that in when I realised I have the "new improved" cantilever cam design! Only one bearing fitted on far side.

spotted the hole where the tensioner should be, didn't notice the bearing missing.
I guess you can get the tensioner in with the cam chain/pulley already in place?

Yep, no problem to get the tensioner in once the spring is cable tied back. Will have to take the cam sprocket off again to get the new bearing in though.

Just waiting for the bearing and some other bits from Mr Honda and should be good to go in the next couple of weeks. (garage time permitting)
