Hi. Did you find a solution to your problem? I have been searching for a cam chain tensioner and the spring now, for so long, and I am about to give up. I find it really really strange that there are NOONE who knows where to get either NOS or OEM parts. With that many bikes around the world, it seems strange that noone has found a way.
