Is there a prefered method to access the cam chain tensioner on rear cylinder when doing a valve adjustment?
To remove, I opted to pull the rear wheel, which seems like the best route, but figured I'd ask, just in case there was a simpler way. Remove engine-type answers need not apply...
Search won't let me search for cam, so I get rear wheel/drive chain info...
*Seems like many people ask about how soon or how badly a bike's valves need adjusting, too, so here's my rundown.
04 SV nekkid, 5k miles
All valves solidly middle of the spec range, save for one that is "just" over the min spec
06 SVS, 11k miles
All over the frickin' board. All were within spec, but half were very close to low end
02 KLR650, 5k miles
All within spec, but several close to low end
02 KLR650, 10k miles
All **** near same ending specs as at 5k
KLR is a frickin' treat to work on compared to the SV, too.
