I always wondered what that plugged port was for, on the right sidecase...
...
That's the oil fill port.
Not that one!... That's the one you're supposed to put oil in,... if you don't use "Clots",...
I mean "Klotz"...

Oh, the one on top?
Just a cross drill to connect the cylinder oil path.
Looks ripe for a gage don't it?

Definitely needs a purpose of some kind...
It's just sittin' there,.... waiting....

(I thought the engineers had an idea, and then changed their mind, and stuck a plug in it)...

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)
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.

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.

Hey, we could just loosen the head bolts occasionally just a "touch" and that would snug up that old chain ! ! !

I think taking the spring out of the tensioner and using just the paw might not be so good,if the paw fails you could be in some big trouble!A lot worse than what I'm trying. Even if my spring were to break it would remain inside and keep the plunger from bottoming out.
