Default What is this auto adjust chain?

On my 94 600 F2 is supposedly a self-adjusting chain tensioner.

Never heard of such in my life.

I checked the chain...and it has the right amount of slack...and I know how to adjust the chain on a "regular" bike...

Simply get the rear wheel off the ground...lossen the axle nut...removing the cotter pin if any first...then the two side tensioners...
usually little 10mm bolts...that actually move the wheel back evenly....making sure each marker...on each side of the bike
line up the same so your wheel is straight.

But...again..."self-adjusting"?

That vacation I took from bikes from 94 to 2006 must have seen alot of...something.

Any advice...or info..appreciated...

BTW....I adjusted the chain manually myself as it was a bit loose...

Still curious about this auto adjust feature though...

Are you sure the 'self-adjusting' is referring to the chain tensioner, and notthecam chain tensioner?

I was thinking CAM CHAIN tensioner is auto adjusting, well the stock one is anyways. the APE one I've got is manual.

The Honda Factory Cam Chain Tensioner is auto adjusting. The chain that drives the rear wheel is not
