manual cam chain tensioner
hey everyone, now just like a lot of you out there my cam chain tensioner was making a god awful noise. i kept putting it off until last week i ordered a manual tensioner. the piece comes with some very vague instructions, i was wondering if anyone else had installed that on their bike and might have some better instructions for me or even some pictures. much appreciated. btw i've got a 91 f2

This guy does an O-K job of outlining the job:

Different bike, same concept... Less steps though as it's more accessible on the F2.
Just read through it and get the basic idea, once you get your fairings off and see where it is it's very simple.
2 Bolts to remove it, scrape off the gasket, put new gasket on, install the CCT backed out all the way, thread it down (BY HAND) until it cant go any further, then back it off 1/4 turn.
Start up the bike, if the noise is still there slowly thread it in until the noise is gone.
If the noise is already gone, back it out until you hear the noise, then thread it back in until the noise is gone, then lock it with the lock-nut.
