Can be two different things. Chain tensioners for bikes with horizontal dropouts are small gadgets that hook over the rear axle and pulls it towards the rear to help keep the chain tensioned. Chain tensioners for bikes with vertical dropouts are like a small spur wheel usually in the position where a rear derailer would have been. These push the chain downwards to keep an even tension on it.

How do you adjust timing chain on a Honda xr600?
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.

How do you adjust cam chain on Yamaha yfm225?
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.

How do you reset timing chain tensioner of 1998 cavalier 2.4?
With the tensioner installed, you have to push the center of the tensioner piston inward with a screwdriver several times until it releases. When it releases the piston will move outward and push the chain guide tensioner against the chain. If this does not work buy a new one at autozone ($42.00), which is what I had to do. The new tensioner is the same type and works the same way. Vehicle: 1997 Chevy Cavalier 2.4L
Does a Pontiac grand prix have a timing belt or chain?
The Pontiac Grand Prix has a Timing Chain with a spring loaded tensioner. The tensioner is know to wear, crack and then break. The timing chain and tensioner should be replaced at 100,000 miles. This is a pretty big job that can be done with the motor in the car. $$$ Ray
