    Cam chain tension

      I have the same bike. Why do you want to change it to manual? What's wrong with it?
      And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
      Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

        nothing is wrong with it right now. I`ve heard that the automatic ones can back out when the throttle is released at high speed and lead to bent valves. I just want to avoid a preventable problem.
