Author Message   Bill0351 Posted on Sunday, October 21, 2007 - 11:09 pm:        I checked my primary tension today and I had a quick question for those of you who know. What exactly to they mean by "freeplay?" I was expecting the chain to have some actual slack in it like a final drive belt. Instead it felt like it was under spring tension. If that is normal, then it was right on spec. If not, I am confused about what I am supposed to check. Thanks, Bill   Dnchevyman Posted on Sunday, October 21, 2007 - 11:17 pm:        just tighten it untill it whines then let it stretch itself to size! lol. actually, i was wondering just how much pressure you should be applying when measuring freeplay myself.   Xldevil Posted on Monday, October 22, 2007 - 01:52 am:        Lots of good posts on that in the KV.
