Oil leak around cam chain tensioner
SOURCE: Chain
Locate the tensioner locknut on the right-hand cilinder (bottom): -keep the engine idling for about two or three minutes -loosen the locknut about two turnes while idling -the chain tensioner will slide into the proper position -tighten the locknut to secure the tensioner position and stop the engine -repeat every 3000km or 2000mls

SOURCE: timing chain tensioner adjustment
I am replacing the one-way starter assy on a 02 v-star 1100 custom.
I did not line up the timming marks before removal!
when I line up the crankshaft key pointed straight up the center of the rear cyl, should the front piston be on compression or exhaust?
or should the mark of the front cam sprocket be pointed some were?
I know the rear cam mark should go to the top pointer! but the front not so sure? help? Reg B. thanks [email protected]
SOURCE: Hi have a yamaha fj1100 want to do the cam chain
Howdy: Depending on the year some FJs have a nut/screw at the bottom rear of the front cylinder. This can be adjusted and it works.
If the chain has not been adjusted in the past the nut/screw may be
stuck with gunk. Spray a little carb cleaner on the nut/screw and let set for a couple houres then try again. Get a manual for that year follow the "cam chain tensioner" procedure. I do not have enough lines to expain the proceedure. Good luck and ride safe - Doug
