no mate the prob is the starter uses the generator chain to spin 'er up

when the bikes actually running the tensioner's on the unloaded part of the chain & everything's cool

but when the starters turning the crank the tensioner's on the loaded part of the chain so the chain's pushing the tensioner

if the tensioner starts to fail you'll hear it whackin' against the clutch operating plate when the starter's engaged

best to correct the problem before something grenades...LOL

back in '97 when i was a hyped up GPz nut...another mate who was at the time building ZX-7 SuperBike engines for the Canadian Kawasaki Racing Team was teasing me with pics of the European ZRX 1100 & telling me if i got my paws on one he'd give it 160 ponies...

the guy's a master of "squish"
