Would this be the same method for adjusting the CB500 cam chain? The newer? Haynes book seems a bit short on this info!

Further to my initial enquiry, I am aware of how the system is supposed to work and the fact that you can't actually remove the horseshoe without stripping the engine, what I was trying to find out was whether there is any way I can see/feel if the slack has been taken up after adjustment or if the horseshoe is seized. Rocker cover off?P.S. I am an ex (car) mechanic, 40 years, so I know the basics but realise I have much to learn when it comes to this type of engine.
