How do you adjust the timing chain on a 1985 kawasaki ninja 600?

To adjust the timing chain on a 1985 Kawasaki Ninja 600, follow these steps:

1. Locate the timing chain tensioner. It is located on the left side of the engine, just below the cylinder head.

2. Loosen the lock nut on the timing chain tensioner.

3. Turn the tensioner adjusting screw clockwise until the timing chain is tensioned properly.

4. Tighten the lock nut to secure the tensioner in place.

Here are some additional tips for adjusting the timing chain on a 1985 Kawasaki Ninja 600:

* The correct timing chain tension can be checked by measuring the chain deflection. The deflection should be between 5 and 10 mm (0.2 and 0.4 inches).

* If the timing chain is too loose, it can cause the engine to run rough. If the timing chain is too tight, it can cause the engine to overheat.

* It is important to adjust the timing chain regularly to ensure that the engine is running properly.

If you are uncomfortable adjusting the timing chain yourself, you can take your motorcycle to a qualified mechanic to have it done.
