Setting valve lash with cam chain tightened removed?
Hey everyone!
I’m just adjusting the valve clearance in my 2008 ninja 250. The service manual said to remove the chain tightener but now the front facing cam has a lot of play so I’m not sure if it’s the correct procedure to measure the valve lash with that thing removed??? Thanks!! |

Measure before removing cam-chain tensioner.
Only remove cam-chain tensioner if you have to remove cams to adjust clearance with new shims. |
