Tensioner horseshoe saddle clips question ?

<< < (2/2)

Nurse Julie:
Mine didn't feel soft or like rubber at all 🤔 I was almost inclined at the time to think it was made from a metal of some sort but settled on it being a very hard type of plastic. Mine was fine, no damage or cracks, so I didn't replace it. I think I may have fitted a new top one though.
It can't fall out when in situ Ted as it is being pushed down by the blade.

Hi NJ I was thinking as you insert the blade could it be accidently pulled out when trying to find the horseshoe slot if it's difficult to see down the inside of the engine as you fit it - quite understand your point once it is engaged in the clip.

So as to the right way round the score is 2:1 so far groan...... probably does not really matter but Honda must have had a reason to make it asymetrical ?

I wonder what Trigger does when he replaces them?

As I am close to fastening up the crankcase halves part of me thinks I should fit the DS alloy unit that I think is supplied  by TTR400 in SA simply because it would stay free for much longer - the clip is still probably not included.
