For new tuber owners
This is why you should always check your primary to make sure the PO has up-graded the shoe.

Been there. Total carnage in the primary. Was welded by an expert, but could not get it 100%, so I am now at the stage of swapping cases.
Change that shoe!

This is the primary chain tensioner. The only way to tell is open the case, unless you can see it through the inspection hole.
The one on the left is the cheap original, the one on the right the good one.
