Machinist?....No...Grew up on a Saw Mill....When somethin' broke you made the part out of stronger stuff...Cuttin' torch....Welder... Function was the order of the day....Fashion.....not so much... Overkill vs Bandaid.
Sounds like Vers' invention is the answer, just add the better chain...At the most opportune time, when you have gotten' all life out of the Stock POF(feces) Grin

My passion involves educating those who want to partake of the joys ridin'(Something that works properly, of course!)

Kawasaki W-650 is gear driven. The lash is critical. Best I can tell, those engines need valves adjusted rarely and just Run and Run..
As long as nothing happens, like screw up, mess up the plug threads, hafta take the head off, then the bevel gears are rarely a problem. Adjusting them in assembly is not something I want to do, but it looks possible.

We can have a manual cam chain adjuster if, as Dave suggested, the spring behind the plunger is removed.
We then need to figure out a way to push the rear guide forward without opening up the clutch cover. OK I know.---- But just a push on the thing would allow it to catch the next tooth on the ratchet and we would be good to go until the next time.

I know this isn't a solution but just my thoughts.

Re: Manual Cam Chain Tensioner Reply #21 - 05/21/16 at 16:39:28 Have you looked at what Is behind the plunger? The pin and casting that the whole thing is mounted To. I'm thinking a softer spring would be a start.

Even if my spring were to break it would remain inside and keep the plunger from bottoming out.
