How To: Manually Tighten an Automatic Cam Chain Tensioner (ACCT)

[JamesAsivagan]

just tried this method, works perfectly, thanks to those warn abt over tightening in some comments, i jus loose the screws slowly till hear the first click, thats it, test the bike immidietly no more ratling sound, timing was smooth, thank you so much.❤

This video is still fixing cam chain noise. I just tried it and it works perfectly. My click wasn't very loud so find a quiet place.

If my timing chain is slapping and i want a temporary fix could i do this?

[thangnguyen-tfyo]

I cannot figure out my bike has ticking when it gets hot and that relates to cam chain tension. Any suggestion? thanks.

What kind of fix is this, long term or short? My 2011 street triple 675 is making the clacking noise and looking to see if there is a fix without tearing everything apart

Just did it on my Kawasaki kle 500, works perfect👍🏻 thanks for the tip

[paulacabbo]

After doing something like that pull the cover and push on the chain to check the tension because you can make the chain too tight doing that

Do you need to align the engine at top dead end center in order to do this or it doesn;t matter? Thanks for the video

[sirzekialroane]

This worked great, cam chain noise gone.

[mcrand]

? ? What exactly you achieved? Loosening it and tightening back?

[scotthulen]

Yeah, thank you so much. I just did it myself work perfectly. Thank you.

Wouldn't the smart thing to do is replace the cam chains? There are a lot of videos and tricks out there but the MAIN problem is the cam chains have loosened, right?

[nerotyagi]

This is an old video and I really hope someone replies to this, but I loosened it for multiple clicks, unfortunately. It's very noisy where I was and I wasn't sure if they were clicks. But now my bike won't turn. I'm assuming I messed up the timing and the valves aren't opening on time anymore. Help

I have a 22’ zx6r with 7, 000 miles. I can hear the ticking. Will it hurt for me to do this on my bike?

[Hamza-khan]

Will this work in a triumph street triple 675 2013 please reply

Just roll your bike backwards down a hill in 6th gear and pop clutch to let engine turn over a couple times and boom, you just tightened your automatic cam chain tensioner. Neat little trick so you dont have to wrench on anything 😉, your i learned it from a kawasaki fourm so i tried it on my 05 zx6r 636. And it actually worked, I had to do it 2 times to get it perfect but it worked. Try it for those who have a automatic cam tensioner

All I’m going to say, is last night I order a new tensioner, saw this video went and tested this out on my 2010 klx250sf

When I would start my bike the cam chain sounded loose when I would ride, I did what he did in the video, and my bike sounds brand new new again.
Been riding with no issues, atleast until my new one comes one.
Thank you!

[casualtactician]

I need help I did this and now my bike doesn’t stay running but the noise went away but now it won’t start up

[jonathanalexander]

will this work the same way on a 2000 yamaha xjr 1300 ???

How did that adjust anything? You losend two bolts pulled cover back tightened bolts back up how hell did put more tension on cam chain that center bolt by the looks to me would be your adjustment
