**robertmitch85** · 12-06-2009, 01:44 PM

I pulled a plug bolt on the back of my 200x motor and is seemed to have been spring loaded? now it wont go back in? it looks like the bolt holds something down? can i just grind it down or is it a necessity? any tips or trick to get it back it?

take a pic of said bolt.need a better description.

did it have a black boot over it?

go to www.bikebandit.com and look for the image and post a link and item # so we can see what you did. it not be a big deal. I'm thinking it's the cam chain tensioneer and you jsut need to push the center black cyclinder price back in and put the bolt back in.

no way to send pics

there was no black boot on it, its just a 14 mil that is about 1" long and isnt thresded on the first half of the shaft, as if to hold something down, it is located on the very back of the 200x case

That may be the bolt for the automatic adjustment on your cam chain. But I just woke up and trying to picture in my head.

**harryredtrike** · 12-06-2009, 02:00 PM

bolt point up or down or sideways

**Custom200** · 12-06-2009, 02:01 PM

It do sounds like the adjustment for the cam chain adjuster.

**robertmitch85** · 12-06-2009, 02:04 PM

the cam chain adjuster is on the top of the block, this is something different point sideways towards the bottom of the shock

**harryredtrike** · 12-06-2009, 02:07 PM

**SYKO** · 12-06-2009, 02:07 PM

**robertmitch85** · 12-06-2009, 02:39 PM

Sound like you pulled the kick starter spring catch bolt out , if so your gonna have to split the cases to get it back in . Does the kicker still work?
