Gotta love that sound! It's funny - never thought of it being a sewing machine! They always said that's the sound of the BMWs. Liked this video a long time ago, but didn't thank you. Very well done! (1977 750F2 Super Sport).

Thanks for posting this, I've had trouble adjusting the tensioner in the past and you made it super clear. Coincidentally my 750 is also flake sunrise orange, such a head turner!

Thanks for the video. How often should I do this...and how do I know if my bike needs it? My 75 CB750 runs great, but I don't know when cam chain tensioner was last adjusted. Probably in the last couple thousand miles or so.

It makes sense. Essentially these cam chain tensioners are just springs that push out on a chain guide. With the engine running it would be able to adjust to the movement of the sloppiest part of the chain chain and not a stationary position.

For adjusting cam chain tensioner, why you need to bring piston to TDC?.

I've never heard that, sorry. I was told this is the point where the tension is correct. If you do it again it will be at a different tension. It is set when you do it.

How do you how tight to make that screw for the cam chain tensioner. I have excessive ticking on my cb750 and I am unsure if it needs a valve adjustment or to tighten the cam chain tensioner.

Conrad riffle I would measure the tappet clearances first - it's easy. On a cold bike open the tappet covers and measure the clearances when the valves are closed. tap tap tap tap noises are very often tappet clearances that have enlarged so the valves hit closed harder.

You are checking the number 4 cylinder number 1 is on the left side of the bike as you sit on it, it's also not a good idea to turn the engine over with a wrench like that you can damage the pin for the timing cam for the ignition. You were on compression stroke for number 4 cylinder not number 1!!!

When I was showing the open tappet cover I was on the left side of the bike and that was definitely cylinder #1. Also how else can you turn the engine if not with a wrench.

You should only turn the engine FORWARD which from the right side of the bike happens to be clockwise.
