As long as they are female of course.
If your bike is male (mine is) then it’s either a “good old boy†or a “bastardâ€

Thought everyone of our generation called them "she"
After all, they consume all your time, all your money, and still give you sh#i/ let you down when you really don't need it!

Does it sound strange in english?

Not strange... just unusual and, to my mind anyway, amusing to see those two words together. "Capricious" is a great word!
Carry on, marroinia, your English is 1000% better than my French will ever be!
marroinia:
Well, I replaced the missing damper! The bottom one was in place so did't need to do surgery. I tried again to play with the horse shoe and it's still moving ok. The two blades are in good condition.
Unfortunetely, the chain is still noisy whatever the methode I try to tight it (set up at 1200rpm, set up while pushing on the kick, set up at few degrees after N*1 TDC...) I noticed a soft link on the camchain... best thing to do now is to replace that chain, I guess.
I hope I'm not to confident with the tensioner...
Nurse Julie:
If the tensioner is mobile and the blades OK but you still have a rattle then the chain must be beyond spec and needs changing. If its already got a soft link chain fitted, that means it's been changed from the standard endless chain in the past, so the one you fit will be its 3rd in 16,000 miles.... That is very strange and shows the engine has had a hard life.
marroinia:
Like you said that engine eats too many chains, or the mileage is lying...even if pushing hard the revs, how come to screw 2 kits in only 25000km?
Just to be sure that it's a soft link, there is no darker link on the original chain, is it?
Anyway I ordered a new chain with soft link, if still noisy then I'll have to put the engine on the table. :-\
