Cam Chain Tension

[Bigtone]

got an 82" 185S my dad said the noise i am hearing is the cam chain. He showed me what he thought was the tensioner on the left hand side of the case under a rubber plug but said he wasnt sure how it adjusted. Any help would be appreciated thanks

It's covered in the owner's manual: http://www.hondampe.com.au/repository/owning_a_honda/owners-manuals/atv.aspx

just did my 83 200 atc. take that rubber plug off, take the 10mm bolt out, loosen the 14mm. let it idle for a little bit and the noise goes right away. Tighten everything back up.
Hope this helps

If it doesn't quiet down I usually take the flywheel off and check out the whole tensioner. They can get stuck, bind etc etc.
