Cb550k Cam chain tensioner position/install question.
« on: September 02, 2021, 07:29:40 AM »
I have a cam chain tensioner question about placement. If I remember correctly the bottom of the tensioner goes into the little “pocket” in the bottom of the case (sorry about the horrible drawings). Do the prongs of the tensioner go on the outside of the pocket or do the prongs go on the inside of the pocket? Does anyone have a picture of the correct placement? Thanks guys
