tension spring with a flat-head screwdriver.
* Before installing the cam chain tension adjuster, turn the
crankshaft counterclockwise to remove any cam chain
slack between the cam chain drive sprocket and cam-

* Install a new gasket and the cam chain tension adjuster
onto the cylinder with the two bolts and tighten them to
the specified torque.

• After installing the cam chain tension adjuster, turn the
screwdriver counterclockwise. As the slot in the cam
chain tension adjuster turns, the tension rod advances
under the spring force and pushes the cam chain tension
adjuster against the cam chain.

check the cam chain slack to make sure that the
cam chain tension adjuster is working properly.
