[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 523072, member: 3828"] I have not yet actually had the "opportunity" to mess around with my FJR's Cam Chain Tensioner. But I believe that the tensioner is strictly a spring loaded affair, with no real way to increase or adjust the tension. Here is a page from the FJR1300 Orientation guide that shows a cut-away cross section view of the tensioner. [URL="https://home.comcast.net/~fredwills/Files/FJR_Cam_Chain_&_Tensioner.jpg"]Camchain Diagram[/URL] And here is an excerpt from the FSM on "checking" the tensioner that gives some clues as to how it works. [URL="https://home.comcast.net/~fredwills/Files/Checking_FJR_Cam_Chain_Tensioner.jpg"]Checking Tensioner[/URL] I'll try and ping "Ionbeam" to weigh in. He has the most experience with the chain tensioner of anyone I know. [/QUOTE]
