A cam tensioner needs to be fixed when you notice symptoms such as a rattling noise from the engine, particularly during startup, or if the check engine light comes on due to timing issues. Additionally, if the engine is running rough or misfiring, it may indicate that the timing chain or belt is not properly tensioned. Regular maintenance checks can help identify wear or damage before it leads to more serious engine problems.

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.
