I am attempting to check the primary chain adjustment for the first time. The service manual says to tighten the chain limiting screw to 24 in-lbs. I have a torque wrench but there is not enough clearance to put a socket between the screw and the stock muffler. I suppose I could remove the exhaust but it seems like a hassle. Anyone have a suggestion? | ||

Do the sound method - easier, book method leaves primary too tight, go at least 8 more flats out - see how to in the TKV for the Sound method - you would use a crowsfoot socket. EZ | ||

Thanks EZ. I was a little annoyed to see the spacer still there. This was supposedly adjusted the last time I had it serviced. | ||

The only problem with a too loose primary is it makes more noise. Good luck. Yes I am posting alot, I just got back form the lake and was without bike or internet all weekend, but boy did I have a great time...  | ||
