Cam Chain Tensioner Reset/Replacement?
#2
Unfortunately the tensioner is right slap bang in the middle of the block which means you have to remove the carbs to get at it which is relatively involved job - its not complicated, it just takes a while

I think it was darrsi who said they seemed to have picked out the tensioner, then built a bike around it :|

At 32k you might be getting to the end of the cam chains life (some have reported changing as early as 20k, others go on to 40 or 50k) so you may need to look in to a new cam chain - but obviously first of all check the tensioner. If you still have life left then you can try a couple of things to make it advance to the next notch such as removing the plugs and rolling the bike backwards in 1st, or going for a particularly spirited rideĀ  :evil
