I was riding home from work tonight going along at around 40mph when all of a sudden, the engine sounded like a deisel engine, so i pulled in the clutch and hit the kill switch and coasted into a parking lot. Come to find out the lock nut backed off the ape cam chain adjuster and the adjustment bolt backed off a couple off turns. I re tightened the cam chain ajuster nut, and was on my way. Bike seems to be running better than ever.
