randy,

that's great news!  i think that you are right-- without the tensioner in, the timing chain will slip on by the crankshaft gear.  i should tell you that you are *extremely* lucky that the mistiming didn't cause a very large engine problem, namely one or more open valves hitting the piston as it comes up.  so don't do that again!  :*)
 
for the throttle stop, a few months ago i did a write up complete with lots of pictures, see

and scroll down to my post of 03-09-2001.

it's really straightforward, you can do it in 15 minutes and the worst thing that could happen is that you have to get a new (yzf-style) throttle stop from your dealer for $12.  the biggest problem is getting the damn thing out.  read the post above for some hints-- if you have (or get) a ball head 4mm allen wrench your life will be a lot easier.

let me know if you have any questions.
