Re: SOS R1100gs pulled out bolt on back of block, won't go back in
Found a post that this is the chain tensioner and put it back in the hole in the bottom. Seemed alright. Figured I should pull the wrong bolt out on the other side too for good balance...
It went right back in but the bike won't idle now. I assumed this was just to keep tension on a guide. I've searched up and down and can't find it on any diagram. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

I'm parked on ground that isnt level so it's possibly I'm under filled , would that cause the bike to stumble and shut off when cold? If anyone can even tell me the name of the part between the (head&block?) That would give me somewhere to start.
