25K problems?
I have a buddy telling me that I need to become aware of problems that will arrise once I get to 25K on my bike. Cam Chain tensions because they are plasitc. So I dont know to much bout bikes, is this true?
I ride a 2005 Dyna Superglide Custom. 24,200 K. I also hear it is not cheap to fix.. |

Re: 25K problems?
It's true, they should be checked starting at about 25K for condition. Check the self help forum for more info on them.
There's a roller chain upgrade in that area too and the 06 dynas and the 07 lineup use the newer system that will probably stand up better.

When I checkd one of mine at 25K, the inner was gone; metal to metal had just started and the outer was worn evenly to about 25% of original thickness. I converted to gear drives but if the hybrid conversion had been available then, I would have gone that route. |

Re: 25K problems?
If i'm not mistaken the tensioners problems were corrected in 03 models(they changed to a different material on the shoes),the 05's should be good to go.With that said as stated above I'd checkem just to be sure @ every 25k.It only takes a gasket(costs$8-$10) to look in side to see um.If there is a problem I would take a good look @ gear driven as mentioned above so you wont have to go back inside ever.This motor is bullet proof except for the cam tensioners.Let us know what you decide to do,Dave...
