hey whats up guys. like a dumbass, one day i heard just a little valve chatter/top end noise at idle and me being the perfectionist home mechanic, i decided to fine tune my ape cct (cam chain tensioner). the bike didnt need it so i basically wasted my time and was just hearing things. i adjusted it the other week good to where it was working great at high rpms (8k plus) but i decided to **** with it again and now i am in a little bit of a bind. can someone tell me how do you tell if the tensioner has made the cam chain too tight or too loose? i have also heard that you should adjust this while the engine is running, is this true? i did a test ride and i rode it in 3rd at 5k rpms and it seems that it feels rough and buzzy at those rpms. it gives me the sensation that the chain may be too tight but i dunno. please give me some suggestions guys.
