I know this is an old topic, but you'll have to humor me. My bike is on it's second hydraulic cam chain adjuster. It's extremely noisy and is in the shop again to be checked. This is because the first seemed noisy and when checked it had eaten some of the teeth off the adjuster. I understand how it works and that it will be noisy because of oil pressure fluctuations and chain wear. It's an understatement to say that all the noise is not confidence inspiring, but does not seem to effect performance.
My question is to change to a manual adjuster or not. I have no problem doing maintenance so would not mind the added chore. Is it worth the piece of mind or should I stick to the hydraulic? I have a manual adjustor on order from schnitz and was told that this web site had a good run down on installation and adjustment. I looked through the site, but couldn't find anything.
I appreciate anyones help or comments especially if you've done the switch already. Thanks
