[QUOTE="wallypiper, post: 138904, member: 2685"] We'll just have to see about the carbon. The bike does a lot of commuting duty and that means two cold starts a day with only about 15 miles round trip. All engines, FI and otherwise, have to run quite rich when cold so maybe that is responsible for the quick carbon accumulation. I'm going to try to pull the plugs today and post some pictures. Back to the tensioner. I understand that it can't back off but what I'm trying to get at here is "the click". Do cam chain tensioners actually reset somehow? Or is it just a spring pushing a plunger pushing the guide with the plastic strip pushing the chain. I'm trying to understand the "reset" concept. I've always heard this. They gradually get loose until a certain point then it "clicks" and gets tighter again all by itself. Does it really do this? How? [/QUOTE]
