blance shaft deleted

FYI, we did a rebuild on a 1997 CSE and installed (among other things) a new balance shaft guides, chain, and intake & exhaust sprockets. At first all was well, then bad vibrations. A second tear down of the motor showed all teeth on the new intake sprocket had worn away, in about 2000 miles. So we deleted the balance chain, sealed the oil port for the BC tensioner (tapped a 6mm bolt in place, with lock-tight). Now motor runs great. Vibration is not an issue, the ride is smooth. If you are considering a rebuild, I suggest you delete the balance chain (but plug the tensioner oil port).
