Some guys change the tensioner at 25k km or miles depending.
Gazboy, id pull the tensioner and submerge it in engine oil then pump it till its rock hard.
Put the bike in gear and turn wheel till at compression then pull tensioner.
Maybe theres still air trapped in it.
Worth a shot.

Try resetting the Throttle Position Sensor -
Disconnect battery negative - have a coffee - reconnect after about 15 minutes-ish
Turn on ignition. Move throttle to fully open and hold for five seconds, slowly move to fully closed then turn off ignition. (do not start engine).
At 20000km that oem chain is probably shot, im at 21600 and my chain is knackered. Pull it by hand away from rear sprocket if there a big gap, replace. And do yourself a favour go DID.
Best upgrade on my 800 is the BMW Akro. Pulled the db killer on day one, sounds awesome :thumleft:
At 6500 rpm the hounds from hell kick in ;D :ricky: worth every cent..just do it!
