How do you remove the rear cam chain tensioner block? (the one that the cam chain tensioner rides on at the rear of the engine) I have one that is worn, and I would llike to replace it.

Thanks,
Paul

Okay, I looked it up in the manual and you will have to seperate the cases to do so.  Chapter 4 - Engine Top End, pg. 117, Figure 50 shows its orientation with the camchain; the seating bosses are down where the chain wraps around the crank.
Chapter 5 -Eng. Lower End, pg. 169, Figures 81 & 82 clearly show the dampeners that hold the rear tensioner rail, in the upper case half, where it mates to the lower half.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
