Been out on the CBF this morning to go to the classic car and bike coffee morning at Griggs, local country store with a big cafe.    
Bloody enjoyed it to be honest, met some interesting guys plus a couple of Nazi’s I know from the RE Club.   Good morning spent talking bikes.    Pissed with rain all the way there and back, went with my mate Andy who was on a Serrow today.  He has more bikes that I have shoes.   

Nazis are riding Royal Enfields? How Nazis have fallen!

Funnily enough I have been out playing with my CBF.  It came with a manual cam chain tensioner, never worried about it but I noticed a rattle when riding the other day nothing drastic but audible.  So hit up Youtube for a how to on adjustment.  Watched loads, all pretty straight forward, so went out and did it this afternoon, motor is sounding as sweet as a nut again, it's the little things that make you smile.  I now have a datum for the next time it needs adjustment which hopefully isn't to often.  I have no idea when it was last done, probably years ago, given it's last documented service was 2019.

Nice one Saul.👍 Not to put a downer on your achievement  but i'm not a fan of manual cam chain adjusters as they can hide a worn out cam chain by being able to adjust past the auto cam chain tensioners range. I've seen a lot of people fit them in the past because they think the auto tensioner is faulty but was just at the end of its range and they needed a new cam chain but that's only my experience with Honda's Air cooled singles.

I have given that some thought Fred.  The Honda tensioner for this generation of 600/4 is known to be weak, in fact there is a revised official Honda one released now, only about £80, maybe a future option. I suppose the previous owner went with a manual one to save money as for all intents and purposes it is only a bolt and locknut.  I'm not going to sweat over it while it's running so well, done 2k miles since I bought it and I am thinking hard to find fault.  Clutch is a bit noisy, but apparently they all are. Doing high 50's mpg and goes very well keeping up with my friends much newer bikes.  After all it's a £1100 winter hack, I'm enjoying it.  I will worry when there is something to worry about.  🙂
