Depends on the bike, a Blade is one 13mm centre nut and two 8mm bolts, absolute piece of piss, unless the gasket falls apart on you but it shouldn't.

As stated, depends on the bike.

Not exactly the best thread title, and very lacking in information as said. However as I know from your previoius post you have a 600 SRAD then I would guess about 1.5-2hours labour so depending on their labour rate, £40-80 probably. It's just fairing off, and 3 bolts.

Now presumably this is because you have a camchain rattle, if you do and it's not a death rattle I wouldn't bother swapping it, you may still have it, this is a GSXR. Might be worth removing the tensioner and then cleaning and resetting it's position as they often stick, this is why they're considered to fail.

If you do go for a replacement, get a Suzuki one, a manual one will need manual tensioning and if you forget you're in trouble, if you overtension you're also in trouble.

Hopefully its not a bastad like a zxr400 where you have to drop the engine out to do it
But if not it should just be an hour or two's labour as said.

Benc, not sure on the ZXR400, I know they also suffer failing tensioners and camchains, presumably the chain is in the middle on those with 2 cylinders either side making it hard to access, it's on the offside of the engine on the GSXR, only needs the sidepanels taking off, maybe the tank too.

If you've got a death rattle you'll know about it, be this metallic lashing noise as the chain rattles around like a tin of nails, it'll get worse as the engine gets hotter. If you've only got a very minor rattle, similar to a clutch rattle then it's probably nothing to worry about, as I said, you could well fit a new tensioner and still have the noise. They can indeed be removed, cleaned and replaced, they're just a spring loaded ratchet mechanism.

Mattsprattuk mentioned that he got a quote for one recently on a '97 SRAD, though I wasn't paying attention to him at the time so I'm not sure how much he said it was, £25 possibly, drop him a PM.

[the grim reaper]

Eh? 1.5 to 2 hours labour? Not in this lifetime. On the SRAD you can just drop the fairing lower and go from there. I reckon about ten minutes, although most places will charge you an hours labour as a minimum charge.
