Indeed, the NC250 engine has an automatic, cam chain tensioner (ACCT). Here are instructions for inspecting the ACCT, from the following thread.

http://www.chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=15545

First remove the center bolt to release the spring pressure.
Remove the spring and O-ring.
Remove the two screws at the base of the ACCT.



Caution:
After removing the ACCT, return the plunger to its initial position by pressing on the locking cam, and pushing the plunger to the base of the tensioner.
