About five minutes into my ride, I noticed this strange clicking/knocking noise. I pulled the clutch in then it would decrease I in noise so this has me thinking it's in the motor somewhere and not the primary. First time I have heard it. Any ideas? Thanks Dan |

Adjust your primary chain to 3/4 inch on the tight spot and again check for the noise ... Get back to us with answer .... PRIMARY CHAIN ADJUSTMENT Class 101, just PM me for a copy ... |

I just bought the primary gasket, I haven't been in the primary before. Haven't touched the grenade plate. |

Just replaced primary gasket last night. Going to adjust primary chain tonight, pretty easy to do? I can do that through the inspection window/area correct? |

Yup the little two bolt window is good for that. Adjust to the loose side of the spec when the engine is cold. |

Don't forget to check for a loose nut behind the handlebars. remember when adjusting the primary chain that it is total slack up and down, not just slack one way. |

"Adjust to the loose side of the spec when the engine is cold." Not quite sure what you mean by that. Essmjay, what nut would i be looking for exactly? Thanks guys Dan |
