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

- How to easily adjust the timing chain tension on your Honda CT 110. We see exactly how the tensioner works, how to adjust the cam chain & become familiar with all of the components which make up the timing chain assembly.
The plunger or push rod has a flat side which faces the adjusting bolt. When the bolt is screwed in, it presses against the flat & locks the push rod in position. When loosening the adjusting bolt only undo 1.5 turns max, to allow the push rod to slide, but not rotate.
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.
Thanks for the comment, greatly appreciated & motivates me to keep on making videos. Cheers!
The best information you can get, many thanks 👍
Thank you. Appreciate you watching & taking the time to leave a comment. Encourages me to keep on going, thanks again.
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
@@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.
Absolutely love the channel picking up two project posties this weekend so just doing some research as ones a runner and ones not. All of your videos are very useful and I look forward to future updates. Keep up the great work. Frank
Thanks Frank, I appreciate the encouragement & I'm glad you find the videos helpful. Good luck with your projects, let me know how you get on. I have another project that will be uploaded in a few weeks, once the garden bike is close to being finished.
Mate thanks wow you explain things really well. I get it now... love yar work
Thanks mate!
Literally the perfect video for adjusting and understanding.
Thanks Dale!
Excellent thanks, makes it easier to remember the procedure when I know what is happening inside.
Thanks George, I also like to know what's happening to help me remember. Glad you found the video useful.
Totally helped.
Thanks!
Thanks Nick, glad you found it useful & all the best with your channel as you approach the magic 1k.
thanks It's simple and clear
Thanks, glad you found the video helpful. I looked on YT & couldn't see much info on this so I thought a video would prove helpful to some people. Thanks for commenting.
Thank you for the simple explanation.. greetings from Indonesia
terima kasih telah menonton semoga sukses
Thank you sir!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent tutorial. Would love to see more . Cheers
Thanks Mark, I really appreciate you saying that.
Cheers mate, that's a good one. So this adjustment does not related to engine oil pressure and auto adjusting...?
Thanks
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.
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.
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.
This is really helpful and presented well
Just what I was looking for
Thank-you, glad you found it useful.
That was quite literally very insightful, thank you very much, again.
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.
Brilliant explanation 👏
Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement, helps a lot in motivating me to make & upload these videos. Cheers!
Brilliant, this is a must-see video.
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.
