[QUOTE="yamaholic, post: 56922, member: 328"] I'm calling bullshit on that. A loose camchain likely isn't going to just "get better" on it's own. The camchain adjuster should take out any slack in the chain (and it's normal to have some) on an ongoing basis. It should not be loose after a rebuild. The adjuster should always have tension on the chain. The adjuster is probably stuck if the chain is loose. There were a few documented cases of this on the Int'l FJR forum (joos' site), so rather than a loose camchain, I may suggest a faulty cam chain adjuster. Or the shop did not properly set the chain tensioner to do it's job. The noise it should make if the chain is either worn out or the adjuster is bad/misadjusted would sound like a a busy bowling alley or imagine if you can taking about 50 feet of chain and dragging it across a tile floor with marbles trapped between the chain links. is this the sound you are hearing?
