Anyone else agree on this???
Agreeing with TommyJoeBilly here. On my 02 gz250. To lock the cam chain tensioner so as to remove it from the engine, i had to turn the slot screwdriver COUNTER clockwise, for it to tighten and lock. Turning it clockwise as the manual states just twists the spring, which make the screwdriver want to twist back, unless you really really keep twisting clockwise, at which point you break the tensioner spring. So now i know the manual is wrong.
