Author Message   Eweaver Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - 07:09 pm:        My 12,400 mile service is around the corner for my 2009 1125R. Are there any upgraded components from the 2010 that would be worthy of an install at this point? It seems like a heard something about improved cam chain components that reduced noise. Any thoughts?   Ridenusa4l Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - 07:13 pm:        the cam chain tensioner was for CR's only, to my knowledge there are no further revisions from the 2009-2010 engine.

It is only about $15 so its worth it while you are in there.   Eweaver Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - 08:03 pm:        Thanks Froggy.   Dannybuell Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - 10:05 pm:        An engine rotation would be a good time to put Erik Buell Racing take off headers that have been ceramic coated on.   Tpoppa Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - 11:15 pm:        What is better about the 2010 cam chain guide. Is it more reliable? I haven't heard of them failing.   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - 11:40 pm:        Its just an updated version of the same one used since 2008. It was introduced part way through the 2009MY, some late 2009MY bikes may have it. "More lube redirected to cam chain = quieter operation at low rpm". I haven't heard of any reliability issues with either revision.   Thefleshrocket Posted on Friday, November 12, 2010 - 02:26 pm:        Wouldn't a cam chain guide replacement involve some pretty significant engine disassembly?
