I slid a piece of rubber hose over the end of the automatic chain adjuster to allow for more useful travel. I would love to see someone video the valve chain replacement .
AWESOME BUDDY,IVE LOOKED FOR QUITE A WHILE ON TH-cam TO FIND OUT WHATS UNDER THE LEFT SIDE COVER..NOW I KNOW..I HAVE AN M50 SPECIAL EDITION AND,I ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD NO GEARING OR MOVEMENT FROM MY BIKE,SHE STARTS SWEET AS,BUT DOSNT GO INTO ANY GEAR..I CAN SEE WHY NOW...THANKS HEAP FOR THIS VIDEO,AND YOUR TIME AND INFO..CHOICE ONE...👍
Front cylinder and all attached components seam to go first on the vs800. I'm thinking an engineering flaw starves the front cylinder area of adequate lubrication. I just rebuilt mine and found the big starter gear behind the flywheel had a very loose fit on the crank. I purchased a used one off Ebay and it fit way tighter. Hoping it will boost oil flow to to the front cylinder instead of dumping it out into the stator case area. The only other way is to purchase an entire new starter gear, one-way bearing assy, which is costly. Front piston was starved and was worn down .012 undersize and it sounded like timing chain slap, but no timing components were worn after inspection. Chain had no slack like shown on the vid here. Everyone says these motors are clickity clackity like an Angry sewing machine. That they are, some strategicly placed internal sound deadening pads would have been nice.
Just curious but was there alot of medal shavings in oil filter and oil? I have this same knock sound on my 2005 c50 and shavings when I did oil service and cut open the filter and looked in the bottom....
When the chain got loose...was it making an intermittent rattling/rubbing sound down at the bottom end as you rolled down the road or pushed it around manually? Please get back to me...I got a c90 and I'm tryin to figure the issue
hey there sorry youtube locked me out of this channel so i never know when i get a comment. if you look at your chains and they aren't tight, that will likely be your issue.
Thanks bro, exactly what I needed! Do you think there is any chance it's possible to remove the rocker covers with the engine in the bike? From I can figure out the motor needs to come out!!??
Hey buddy wondering if you can help me out I have a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard it does not want to accelerate if I give it a lot of gas back and forth quickly it will go a little bit not sure if it would be clock jet valve's need to be adjusted Maybe or a bad fuel pump a lot of times it seems like it just running on one cylinder
My 08 C50T had the same problem. I bit the bullet, bought the tools and a book and took it apart. New chains and tensioners fixed it. Sux---they are good bikes other then this flaw. Mine started making noise at about 14000, I rode it another 8000 before tearing it apart. Bad thing is Suzuki still makes the same crappy design.
Im getting an intermittent rattling noise from what sounds like the front bottom of my c90...is that the sound this issue makes? Please lemme know...it be a huge help. Cheers
@@HOTDOG401 Sounds about right. There's a chain on both sides, The cold knock that's normal would quieten down when it got up to temp but the rattle got louder when hot. I have an S40 I bought used with the same problem, it's just a single cylinder. Chain and adjuster fixed it.
Tnx 4 video I have a 2021 c50 boulevard 2000 miles on it now. good luck with ur new parts. RON COLUMMBUS OHIO

thinking about buying a 2005 c50 with 16k miles.. Being your a mechanic, do you think this year is model is a good engine? or look for something else?

That's a good diagnosis
Do you know if it’s possible to do a head gasket service without removing this engine?
I would like to see the videos of that tensioner replacement
What was wrong with the bike that you thought to look at the tentioner in the first place?
i have the same bike. my foot shifter does not spring back. i think there must be a spring someplace thats broke . cant you help?
Hello, have you finally changed the chains ? Do you need to take of the engine from the bike ? Thanks !
When the chain got loose...was it making an intermittent rattling/rubbing sound down at the bottom end as you rolled down the road or pushed it around manually?

It sounds like you have a clogged fuel injector
Would you show how to take that cover off I have to replace the gear shift o ring and I can’t get that cover off
Did you figure out how to get it off? im having the same issue

Андрей Рутс 28,xxx these vl800s are noted for that.

@JazzyLocke Thanks...looks like Ill be opening her up then.
@@HOTDOG401 You'll need the Suzuki flywheel/rotor removal tool and an inch pound torque wrench
i got this customer that has this bike. his tensioner went out most likely. gonna tear down the engine and replace the messed up parts
Just put 2 new chains in.
Bro one picture the time the cams
