If you wantto check how worn the chain is. Line up the timing marks and lift the vam cover on the left side. If the holes on the cams and the t mark on the rotor all line up then chain is good. If 5mm out on the cams then chain has wear. 12 mm out change the chain. The tensioner on the 600 is exceptionally reliable compared to many other manufactures. It is more reliable than the one in the FZS1000 and there have been a few reports of those failing. The only reason the 600 tensioner may give trouble is if engine has been idle for a very long time and gone a little rusty and the internal spring on the ratchet fails. Even that is rare. It is a very simple effective design.
