tntmo 896 Posted August 22, 2019 A riding buddy in Ramona has a stripped out chain adjuster on his CBR1100XX Blackbird, it looks like it has been helicoiled in the past. I suggested upgrading to TimeSert, but before we buy an $80 kit I thought I'd see if anyone has one we can borrow and then supply burritos or beer or replacement parts or all of the above. Thanks.

isde97 29 Posted August 23, 2019 I can go check. Did the helicoil come out on the bolt? Something doesn't sound right with the description. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, the helicoil is starting to come out. The adjustment bolt is actually broken, not stripped. Anyway, a new helicoil will likely work but I know a timesert will be better.

isde97 29 Posted August 24, 2019 I have helicoils, but not timeserts in M8. It sounds like there is more going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure exactly how my buddy ended up breaking the bolt. A helicoil will probably be fine really, but since it has been previously repaired and the original helicoil is coming out I figured I'd ask around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
