Piki:
Hello All, Is possible change the CB550 f/k camchain tensioner without take off the headengine?? I did a total engine rebuild two years ago but I do not remember how fit it....:(

LesterPiglet:
The head must be removed but the barrels do not.

Trigger:
Piki, How many kilometers  have you done in two year's?. If you replaced the cam chain blade when you did a engine rebuild, it should be OK.

Piki:
Thanks everyone, I installed a new guide and tensioner blade(no more of 1500 km), but the tensioner mechanism  does not work very well(the adjust screw does no turn well)... This afternoon I saw a mechanism on Ebay and was thinking of changing it, but I do not want take off the head engine again, perphas I bet for the adjust mechanism and in the future I change it....

Bryanj:
DO NOT try turning the screw with any tool ---that is guaranteed to ruin it. The slot is there purely to aid building and NOT to help tension.

Its an automatic system that works very well until ruined by people who do not read the manual properly.

Thay can be repaired if not to bad but have to be removed to do it.
