This is a question Old stuff I still know

Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

How to adjust a camchain tensioner tensioner tensioner.
On a Kawasaki Z500 there is a camchain tensioner, that is pushed on by a sprung tensioner itself pushed onto by a threaded tensioner. The limit of movement is reached when the chamfered faces of the sprung and threaded tensioners are lined up. To get some extra play and be able to tighten up the tensioner tensioner tensioner, remove the threaded tensioner, file off a few mill from the leading edge of the chamfer, then replace. As the chamfer now has a blunt edge, this allows a few extra mill of movement between the faces of the threaded and sprung tensioner which will push the main tensioner slightly further than it should, thus increasing the tension of the cam chain and stopping a rattle.
