Ok, I plan on tackling the adjustment of my primary chain today or tomorrow. The way I see it, this is how to do it.
1. Loosen up the Nut to make adjustment of the allen bolt inside possible.
2. Turn the allen bolt to tighten the chain
3. With the bike running and in neutral, view the primary chain through the inspection window for slop. (Do we need to check the chain w/ engine offas well?)
4. Listen for audible whine
5. If no whine, turn adjuster until whine appears and then back off the allen bolt adjuster 1/8 of a turn.
6. Test rev engine for whine sound.
7. If no whine sound, tighten up bolts and then you're done.
Is this correct all? I am a little unsure of #3. Do I need to even take the inspection cover off the bike?
Thanks ...
