Some of the chain adjusters that are automatic can get worn and not self adjust
I ran into this on my 700sc it was not hard to replace and still can be had 
from honda
With the cover off look and see if the chain is sloppy

I have a 1983 Nighthawk 550sc. There is a little slapping at idle ( 34000 miles 
) and I understand it could be the cam chain. I have looked in the manual and 
online, Can't find anywhere that will show or tell me how to do this. I am 
putting on my new valve cover ( Powder coated black ) and I would like to take 
care of this while I am in there. Any ideas, links, etc that might help me out 
? Also, any extra sealant required on the Valve / Cam cover gasket ?  Thanks in 
advance for any help you might be able to send my way.
