Chain tension

Post by modelman » Fri Sep 18, 2015 7:51 am

Bike fully rebuilt, starts first-kick, ticks over fine & runs fine, but its all a bit 'whirly' upstairs, seems to be a lot going on noise-wise.
All I did to tension the cam-chain was to let-go the plunger bolt, allow it to go as far as it wanted, then nip it up, correct?
Or is there a 'procedure' to setting it.

Pretty much the way to do it.
Do Not push on the shaft.
You may want to loosen the set bolt again and see if the shaft goes in and out as you turn the rotor bolt.
If it does tighten the set bolt when the shaft is in the most.
Did you replace the chain and set the valves to .004?. ....................lm
