just about all oil pump chains do not have tensioners if you can depress the chain at the middle of the longest section more than 1/2 the width of a link, consider changing it Best advice is to discuss the matter with a service center for your bike as a loose chain might be the norm pump chains are not subject to the flapping motion that cam shaft chains are subject to as they have a constant load from the pump

There are so many things! Firstly check spark to the plugs and fuel to the system and the cylinders. Then check timing. After that it gets complicated!

Valves wrongly adjusted ?? It can really only backfire through either if the valves are slightly open, i.e not enough clearanceafter adjustment.

Sounds to me like some sort of short in the system which is also draining the battery. You need to carefully check the wiring that it has not rubbed through and the actual wires are not in close contact with the frame

I assume you are talking about on deceleration. This generally indicates an air leak in the exhaust system, check and reseal your flange gaskets and check any other joint in the pipe. If exhaust is aftermarket they sometimes crackle and splutter on decel if they are poorly designed. Hope this helps. :-)

overfuelling ,check needle valve in carbs

Sounds like fuel in the exhaust system, check fuelling.

over fuelling, too much fuel is being directed to the engine and its combusting in the exhaust manifold

there should be a plug that is on the end of the wires?? Google Make & model & ask for wiring diagram

Mounted on handlebar

Check the light switch , wiring circuit for broken wires ,loose connection or corrosion or even a blown headlight bulb .

Put the key in the seat lock (helmet lock). turn one way to open the helmet lock, turn the other to unlock the seat. Pull up on the seat at the same time. On old bikes, sometimes the cable that releases the seat (connected to the lock latch) gets stuck/rusted. Then you have to decide how important it is to remove the seat. Seat may have to be replaced if you cannot reach under to trip the latch or pull the cable with a hook or screwdriver (crochet hook sometimes works if long and sturdy - and you can pry the seat up enough to see what is going on down there).

Since fitting the aftermarket exhaust system .have the jets been replaced tosuit the system?.

IF by the "main axle" you mean the crankshaft, then no, you HAVE to split the cases to get it out!

So you have an open circuit somewhere. In this case you likely attached something backwards. The easiest thing to do is to go back and slowly take it apart again and put it back together. If, like me, you do this stuff from memory of when you took it apart it should jog your memory.

it's normal for it to run for 5-10 seconds if you turn the key but do not start the car it will shut off.
