88 1000 Hurricane cam chain adjustment
Hi guys, I am new to the forum. I have a 1988 Honda CBR1000F Hurricane that I picked up last nite that runs but has an engine noise that sounds like cam chain noise. I have ordered a shop manual but in the meantime, I was hoping I could get some input on how the cam chain is adjusted. The 80-83 CB900 and 1000 inline 4 air cooled engine cam chain has both front and rear cam chain adjustors with locking nuts. Since the 88 1000 Hurricane is a very similar DOHC in-line 4 cylinder, is it adjusted the same way? Many thanks, Ed

Type "cam chain tensioner" into the search at the top of the forum and go have a read through many threads on this subject ...

Thanks all for the input. I talked to Ape Racing Parts just now and they tell me that Ape does not make a manual cct for an 88 1000 hurricane.
So now it seems my options are to go back with an OEM if I cannot find a manual adjustor.
Is there a 1987 or 1988 CBR1000F owner out there who has installed a manual CCT? If so, what brand? If I am getting bad info, please let me know. thanks, Ed
