FZS600 valve train noise/camchain

[BBROWN1664]

How does rolling the bike backwards 'reset' the camchain tensioner?! That makes no sense.

If your trying to make the tensioner go another click, by putting any chain slack to the back of the engine, you want to push the bike forwards, surely! Assuming that does anything. It would probably be more effective to remove the centre screw (spring and ballbearing) from the tensioner and push a screwdriver in the hole.

not sure how it works but it does. As for putting a screwdriver down the middle of the adjuster, you need to get the carbs out to do that. If you have gone that farm your better off pulling the adjuster out first to see if it is, like mine, actually clean, working and (unlike mine) not on the last adjustment.
