The swing arm pivot is an eccentric, rotates the front of the arm up to brown, forward to rear to set chain tension.

I might have actually been the person that rebuilt that particular engine when I worked at RC Engineering done ago. I did an 1105 Z1 engine for a Rickman chassis.

always love it but with the four exhausts, notice the fork which should be a rickman fork.
When I raced in 1000 cc production race on 70s there're was one which raced as they got homologation as production bike (with the four exhausts, and a double discs, SMAC cast wheels) the H2 was better in curve and in acceleration only at the end at high speed the Rickman was a little better, on braking the H2 was better too.
There were also a standart Z1 , the standart Z1 never reached the 10 fisrt and the Ricman nearly, the only one modified Z1 which finished sometime 5th or 6th was a Godier Genoud modified Z1 with a four into 1, modified frame and shocks brackets, twin discs which got also homologation
I never saw an other one like this one on race or on the road

A beautiful piece of performance history.
