Both the 1985 honda xr250r and xr350 look loke they have self adjusting cam chain tensioners. You may have a broken tensioner or tensioner guide. With the age of the bike you may need a new cam chain. There is nothing to adjust so you need to just figure out if the chain is stretched , if a guide is broken, or if the tensioning mechanism is malfunctioning.

The only fix I know is to replace the chain and gears. There isn't any adjustment for wear. Hope this helps.

Theres is a tick in the engine all thru the rpm's and it smokes but no loss of power,i tried to adjust the timing chain adjuster but still makes the noise,i suspect it to be a bad valve spring but not...
It won't be a bad spring if the bike runs well. It is probably just a tappet out of adjustment. Set the valve clearances. Use only premium gas.

Engine noise
sounds like it could be 2 things. the valve tappets, meaning valves need adjusting and or loose cam chain which may need adjusting.

Noise from gearbox near front sprocket.
Your bike may need the harmonic balancer chain adjusted. Th will notice is noise is very prominent at engine idle and low RPM's. When this chain get lose you will feel the vibration even in the handlebars if it is loose enough.
