Can anyone tell me the tension for the top cam chain guide which I have to replace as I am upgrading to the Hydraulic tensioner on my 2015 C650GT.

According to the workshop manual, the chain guide with top jump guard is tightened to 10NM. Reaching the two screws in the recessed area was impossible with my torque wrench so those were done by feel. If you’ve gotten that far then you’re doing great!

It's good that you asked the question about the torque setting for the top jump guard fasteners for my November 28, 2022, post was in error when I stated that the torque setting should be 20NM. I rechecked my post and discovered the error which has now been corrected.
