cam chain tensioner advance

[Fazerider]

What gear were you in when you tried? Obviously the higher the gear, the easier it is for the wheel to drive the engine.
I don't see why an increase in cam chain tension at the back should encourage the tensioner to tighten, but if people say it works then I guess it does.

Ooops, too early in the morning for logical thought... rotation's the wrong way, but yes, the tension is going to be at the front run of the chain.
