Dickwad Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi guys, anyone know if its possible to adjust the chain tensioner on a 1985 xt600E, Its my mates bike and its rattling like a diesel engine, the sound is coming from the timing chain tensioner area, is it possible to adjust, or if its self adjusting, if so, do they get stuck and not adjust themselves fully?? this happened to my 1100 drag, and I freed it up, and now its fine, "any thoughts".

veteranix_2 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Well, she is and old lady, time to change the valve-operating gear. When the engine starts to be out of timing means a headache, especially if you are far away home in a rainy day with thunders, bolt of lightning, flashes and whatever... it's possible to fix once in a case of emergency, but the problem could be worst the second time Change it including the chain drive, the guide and the strut (sorry if is not the right word). I have the original parts list, can give you the codes: 94570-27126-00 Timing chain 34K-12331-00-00 Strut * 34K-12241-00-00 Guide * Maybe it isn't the right name, my manual is in Portuguese and I'm learning English! Check for models after 1993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
