To adjust the primary chain you remove the oval-shaped inspection cover on the chaincase, loosen (don't remove) the 9/16" nut that holds the chain tensioner in place and move the adjuster up or down to adjust chain tension. The chain should have 5/8" to 7/8" of up-and-down play at its tightest point when the motor's cold and 3/8" to 5/8" of play when the motor's hot. To adjust the rear chain, loosen (but don't remove) the axle nut and turn the adjuster nuts (on the ends of the swingarm) in or out an equal number of turns to obtain proper chain tension. The rear chain should have about 1/2" of up-and-down play at its tightest point.
