A simple way to advance the tensioner is to remove the carbs and take the bolt off the back of the tensioner. Once the spring is out, use a small screw driver in the hole to force the tensioner out one click. You wont feel it move and you wont know if it is at teh limit of its adjustment.
Undoing two more bolts allows you to take the tensioner out to check it if it at the end of its adjustment or not. If it is, its new chain time. If not, put it back in and manually adjust it as above.
As your bike is lowish mileage, I would just leave it for a a thousand mile or so and it will click on or it wont. If it doesnt manually adjust or replace as above or replace the chain. I woudnt fit a manual adjuster though as they hide worn chains and are a fuccer to adjust given where they sit on the fzs600
