[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 560859, member: 118"] Actually, that is a common diagnostic practice to determine if the noise one is hearing is the cam chain and/or tensioner. It was done on my FJR as well as many others - by a dealer tech. The key is to ADD tension to it. Not take it away. Reducing tension, or retracting the tensioner could be a very dangerous thing, as ionbeam so emphatically stated. If adding tension (or extending the tensioner) makes the noise go away, you know you either have a 1) bad tensioner, or 2) a worn cam chain, or 3) Both. [/QUOTE]
