This is an R1100 maintenance campaign.
\nWe ended up wrapping it up for various reasons\u2026
\nThe cam shows no scoring and is in excellent condition\u2014no issues \u2605
\nThe cam chain is loose as expected\u2014these R1100s have auto-tensioner springs that are
\nweak, so they won’t tighten unless they’re really slack. We forced it to tension.
\nThis time we were able to push it three notches.
\nYou can’t overdo cam chain adjustment! Tensioning it too much makes cranking heavy and puts tremendous strain on the chain and
\ntensioner, so please don’t get carried away and over-tighten it.
\nThe engine damper was heavily rusted and wouldn’t budge, so we drilled out the head to get it off!
\nThe damper wear is minor, so it must have been used gently.
\nThe carburettor sync was slightly off, but we got it dialed in perfectly \u2605
\nWe’ll test ride it tomorrow and we’re done \u266a
