Want this question answered?
I believe the cam chain tensioner on the 400ex is automatic, as with most if not all of the newer quads.
Suzuki Bandits have an automatic cam chain tensioner. No manual adjustment is necessary or possible.
You don't. The YFM225 uses an automatic chain tensioner that helps to take up the slack on the cam chain. If you are getting chain slap, then either the chain is stretched or the tensioner is not functioning correctly. In both cases, the parts should be replaced. You cannot repair a non-functioning auto tensioner, nor can you remove links from a stretched cam chain.
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.
You just set the cam chain tensioner - give me a break...
A cam chain tensioner puts pressure on the chain, keeping it taut. If the chain were to not be tight, then it could slip on the gears causing the engine to run rough, or cause engine damage.
you can't : On the '97 Twin cam engine the cam chain tensioner depends on oil pressure. I had a problem that with 200,000 miles the chain had stretched farther than the tensioner could handle and had to replace the cam chain.
You will need to remove the clyinder head to gain access to the tensioner and guide, they should then lift out Hope this helps Andy Do you remove the top cam chain sprocket or does tensioner come out another way
how can you use the cam tensioner on a 325 magnum
Actually on all KTM`s from 2006 on you have hydraulic cam chain tensioners which are easy to change when broken. You can find a full review on how it`s done here: http://freeride350.blogspot.ro/2014/05/had-cam-chain-tensioner-failure.html Save your money and DIY!
No Harley Sportster has ever had a cam chain. The camshafts are gear driven, directly off the crank. No tension adjustment required.
its a chain in petrol and a rubber belt in diesel
