cam chain rattle

Green1:
Hi tried to adjust the cam chain yesterday but it won't stop rattling.I pulled the tensioner adjuster out and oiled it that now moves freely.Does this mean I need to replace the chain.If so what's involved.
Here is a photo just because all good threads need a bit of eye candy.
 Cheers Mick.

nice looking bike you have there and love the colour to  8), it's a big job to change the cam chain , its a engine out of frame job and rocker cover off at least, what sort of mileage has your bike done? cheers Mick.

Bryanj:
How were you adjusting it as a lot of the books give duff info

Waggles:
Also, are you sure its the cam chain thats rattling? it could be the clutch, see if noise changes slightly when you pull the clutch in.

The clutches are always noisy but are worse when carbs are out of synch.

Nice bike!

Spitfire:
Have a look here for some good info
