This video shows how to properly adjust the cam chain tension on the Honda CB360, CL360, and CJ360 family of motorcycle engines. Cam chain adjustment is the first step in the regular engine tune-up process; this adjustment must be performed every 1500 miles (2400 km). The cam chain tensioner has been a weak point in these engines for years, however, regular adjustment avoids premature failure. An adjusted cam chain allows for proper valve adjustment and ignition timing to be performed next.
