cam chain tensioner..ttr600
I know the tensioner is automatic BUT I'm aware they can/do stick.
Is there a simple process for removing the adjuster and resetting it?..
I ask as this is a common problem on zrx1200's, there's even a manual upgrade!

Yeah.
Just take it out, reset it and put It back in.
But unless it's broken, why fix it ?

I believe all's well with the cam chain tensioner. I guess I'm still not comfortable with the noise the engine makes.
More of a peace of mind thing.

By all means take it out and check it. It will do no harm. You might need a new gasket when you put it back on though. Depending on the design.
If you have a rattley motor which sounds like cam chain rattle then you will be better off changing the cam chain and tensioner spring.
However, there are a thousand reasons why your engine is noisy.
Why not take a video of the noise and post it up.
XT's generally are a noisy motor though.

I think the engines sounds great compared to simular bikes, and much better than quite a few of the orange ones.
But I guess it depends on what you compare them with.

+1, my stock xt600e is extremely quite, has only 35k km though
my xtz660 racemotor on the other hand sounds like its going to explode when cold
not that hard to modify the stock tensioner into manual, done this in my race motor for safety
