How do I adjust a Honda Nighthawk CB 250 Timing Chain Tensioner?

Those timing chain tensioners are spring loaded and no adjustment on them. Either the tensioner is worn or the timing chain itself. Its a bit of a job to fix it so take it to the shop. Shouldn't cost more than around $300-$400.
 
My CB 250 is making a lot of noise, it sounds like to pieces of metal vibrating against each other. From what I have been able to find, it sounds like the Timing Chain Tensioner needs to be re adjusted, or replaced. (I checked over the bike and I can not find any vibrating metal that is making the noise, it sounds like its from the engine area)

Is this is a difficult project to do? If I need to take it to a shop, what should I expect for a cost?

Thanks!
