Cam chain sounds sloppy, Is anyone able to adjust the tensioner or does it need to go to the mechanic?? I have heard dirt tricks do a manual tensioner, can this be done by a nuffy like myself with basic skills and basic tools or is it better to let a pro do it??

The Dirt trick's tensioners are a good replacement for the 2008 and later Kato's. You get instructoins with the tensioner that are pretty easy to follow and they aren't to hard to fit and you dont need any special tool's to do the job but if you're still not so sure best get a mechanic to do it for you.

Just be aware if fitting a mechanical cam-chain tensioner that it cuts out the option of fitting a HT oil cooler. :)
