Hi all!!! I am new to this sorta stuff. I have a 1997 suzuki savage ls650 and i was woundering where the cam chain adjust is at and how to adjust it. I looked all over the site and couldn't find any info. If anyone has any info. on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated.

did you use search feature??try cam chain....bike has internal cam chain tension adjuster..only need to adjust valves unless bike has excessive miles on..or chain is noisey..
suggest you get a service manual or clymers manual if you plan on any self maintenance.... Smiley

   Yeah, We even to the service manual but the service manual on the web just pointed us to the air filter. The bike is needing work due to it being left out for 4 years in the weather.Other than that it's ok. It is rattling and we are adjusting the valuves tommorow. If anyone could help in telling me where it's at that would be great the service manual online was no help. Undecided

One Greg's pic was what I found in the tech section - if you look at about 2 o'clock on the clutch pack - that is bottom half of the cam chain adjuster - it had fallen apart during Greg's digging around - it is spring load automatic and is not manually adjustable - if it's rattle'n odds are the cam chain needs to be replaced as it has stretched far enough for the adjuster to no longer function - if the chain breaks the engine is likely toast - it's not real hard to change - a proper manual would be very helpful - as well as the microfiche on many of the parts sellers - like ronayers.com and crotchrocket.com
