Dear Sirs.
I have been an owner of an XS 650 E (standard) for 2 years now.
There is one thing that is puzzling me;
When I adjust the cam chain tensioner as said by owners manual and Clymer (pin should me flush with the nut) I have a lot of mecanical noise, assumingly coming from the cam chain. Now when I tighten the adjuster so the pin stands out 3-4mm the noise goes away. The manual says that adjusting the tensioner like this is wrong.......
hmmmm.......
Is my cam chain wearing out?
Any suggestions about this?
XS regards,
