No Harley Sportster has ever had a cam chain. The camshafts are gear driven, directly off the crank. No tension adjustment required.
You cannot adjust the tensioner. It is automatic, and takes out the slack of a stretching/aging cam chain. Once the tensioner has fully extended, the only fix is to replace the chain and the part of the tensioner the chain rides on if it is worn.
yes on the bottom of the primary
Yes, it is has a very important job. It is the primary chain tensioner adjusting nut. The stud is attached to a nylon chain guide and cannot be removed without disassembly.
Get the repair manual, follow the steps
You can't adjust the chain on an LT80. You can buy an aftermarket chain tensioner if you wish to do this. This is the only way.
You dont, it's an automatic hydraulic tensioner. However eventually the chain and/or tensioner spring will wear out.
A 2003 sportster has a chain drive for the promary, firm the engine to the transmission, and a belt drive final drive. The final drive is from the transmission to the rear wheel.
I believe the cam chain tensioner on the 400ex is automatic, as with most if not all of the newer quads.
Hello Sir. Its not possible to adjust since its tension depens on the oil pressure, if there is too much slack in your chain, you change the tensioner. And maybe chain / chain houseing if its damaged. Mechanic Nic E
self adjusting yan
u dont adjust the timing chain tensioner if there is slop or play in chain, u need to replace the chain . good idea to replace timing gears at same time while engine is pulled apart
The timing chain tensioner bolt sticks out the back left side of the cylinder head. Take the timing chain cover off on the left side of the motor too see the inside to the chain tensioner.
