simple adjustment.

Refer to your service manual.

I think its time for a service manual ...

Best investment you can make.

Ditto on what Ingemar said.

Call Daves, that is where I got mine and definitely one purchase worth making

PS - I got the Parts Catalog for my bike too. Comes with diagrams of many of the parts so you not only see exactly what part you need but how everything fits together
