Honda CT 110 Trail Cam Chain Tensioner - Everything You Need To Know

[@offplanetevent]

Thank you. A visual is much better than the owners manual. You have made me a timing chain expert. I have no more chain noise after the adjustments.

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Thanks for the comment, greatly appreciated & motivates me to keep on making videos. Cheers!

Excellent thanks, makes it easier to remember the procedure when I know what is happening inside.

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Thanks George, I also like to know what's happening to help me remember. Glad you found the video useful.

Thanks Ed, that video has been very popular. I looked on YT & couldn't find any other video fully explaining the cam chain tensioner. I hope people find it useful. All the best, Darren.

[@rockeight]

Thank you. Appreciate you watching & taking the time to leave a comment. Encourages me to keep on going, thanks again.

[@Oldtimerman]

Just a question, when I did the first step and loosen the lock nut and turned the adjusting screw counter clockwise, it started to razzle so I stopped the engine because I thought the cam chain would jump off, I tried to turn back the screw but it seemed I could not do that with the engine running. Thx

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

@@Oldtimerman it should be possible with engine running, that's how Honda say to do it. Only slacken the screw a small amount, just enough to all the plunger to slide. the plunger has a flat side that the screw butts up to. Don't allow the plunger to rotate or you'll not get the screw fully back in. Hope that helps.

[@jonpardue]

Brilliant, this is a must-see video.

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Thanks Jon, I thought about what I'd like to know when I got my CTs. Glad that people find it helpful. And to get this comment from someone such as yourself with incredible knowledge of 6v Hondas is high praise indeed.

[@ravijayasundara-eu9gf]

Cheers mate, that's a good one. So this adjustment does not related to engine oil pressure and auto adjusting...? Thanks

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Not on this model no, on earlier ct90 bikes engine oil drains behind the plunger & hydraulic locks it & auto adjusts. These earlier bikes don't have the screw & locknut which holds the plunger in position as seen on the engine in this video. Thanks for watching & commenting.

[@bmepdoc9675]

Useful details on function - however - there is no mention of how many turns of the lower (not the side lock) tensioner/plunger as an initial setting if replacing the chain.

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

The cap/plug can't be seated if the screw is proud of the boss, as an initial setting screw it in just below the case & the plug can be fitted without fouling on the scew.

[@mlmoke]

Is it safe/recommended to do the adjustment whilst the engine is running or do we have to tweak/restart/stop/tweak/repeat?

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Yes, with engine running is how Honda recommend. Only slacken the side screw slightly so the plunger doesn't twist. It has a flat on it for the screw to locate against. Hope that helps.

[@mlmoke]

@@Free_Ranger_CT110 Worked a treat, much less rattling now. Thanks!!

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

Sorry about that, I put captions on to help those for whom English isn't their first language, but I don't get to select the font size or location. Thanks for watching.
