    I’m reviving my old 85 1000 Interceptor. I parked it 26 years ago when it developed a ticking noise. I may have to replace the cam chain tensioner. Anyone know of a decent video or at least a good series of pics showing how? Anyone know of a reliable source for parts?

    Have you removed the valve covers yet and taken a look at the Cam shafts, rockers and tops of the valves ? Id make sure theyre all good first, then Id set the valve clearances, and if it still ticks, then move on to other things
