Kind of hard to do when all the competitors have the same or similar problem. Look around alot of other brands have cam chain tensioner issues. I guess Suzuki being the squid bike of choice and since they sell a ton of GSXR's to new riders their failure numbers will be higher. Hayabusa's pop them all the time.
