Cam Chain Tensioner Adjuster; Cylinder - Suzuki GS-1000 Service Manual

ENGINE
Cam chain tensioner adjuster
+
The tension adjustor used i n Model GS 1000
is an
automatic
type that
adjusts itself to
app-
l
y
a
constant tensioning
force to the chain by
-
compensating: for
the
stretch of the chain.
m
The spring-loaded pushrod
exerts
a constant
pressure on rhe camshaft chain. As
the chain
stretches,
it
yields to this pressure and
remains
in
a
state
of tension. Once the ad-
justor is set after installation. there is rm need
to
make
any
further adjustment.
m
The pushrod is prevented from withdrawing.
As
a result. the pushrod eflectively contends
with
the tendency of the camshaft chain
to
shake or vibrate during rough driving con-
ditions.
