My stock auto tensioner let the chain tick a little when idling too, but louder at the 5K rpm range. And I just go with the cold-adjust method. Good to hear your success.

I rode a KLX650 once and it was much louder. Thought that thing was gonna blow!

Good to hear that I should expect some noise when cold that goes away when warm, that's what I have right now. Perhaps a bit too much cold noise though so I'll snug it up one increment.

Hey!...wait a minute! Did you say my pics were posted in the instructions? By gosh, I signed no copyright waiver or received any royalties for said pics. Where's my attorney's phone number?
