2000 Spartan HighlanderEngine & cooling

Cam chain tentioner are failing on this model motorcycle. Mine went at 700 miles. This is a potental for causing the motor to lockup when the chain skips a tooth and the valves come in contact with the pistons. The result would be the motor locks up causing the ridder to loose control with injury or death resulting to reidr and passenger. Suzuki has had a recall on the 1999 modal hayabusa. But the 2000 and the recall part are still failing. I would apprciate an investigation on the problem. *Ak
