Hello from Louisville, KY. I recently acquired a 1980 CX500 (not sure if it's a deluxe or custom) from my brother who moved to a new city. He barely rode the bike himself and did little to no maintenance over the time he owned it. I didn't get any information about what went on with the bike...

So I was adjusting the valves today, figured they probably happened been done in about 10 years and while I was at it stupidly decided to adjust the cam chain tensioner. I did it by the book and it should have been fine but no. Instead of tightening it the tensioner has let it go really loose...
