The primary chain adjustment for a 2009 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic involves adjusting the primary chain tension to ensure proper operation and prevent premature wear. To do this, you typically need to remove the primary cover, check the chain's tension using the specified measurement, and then adjust the tension using the adjusting screw until it meets the manufacturer's specifications. Always consult the owner's manual for specific guidelines and torque specifications to ensure the adjustment is done correctly.
through the primary chain adjustment cover .. through primary chain adjustment cover located on the primary cover... I refill mine through the derby cover (clutch cover). they even make a special funnel you can buy to make it easy. The derby cover is the big round cover on the rear of the primary. When you attempt this make sure you have a new gasket handy. Be sure not to overfill!
Their is no adjustment for the front chain. That's probably why it is so big and not a roller chain. If it is super sloppy and needs to be replaced, a dealer replacement (if available) is probably expensive. Most people just replace them with roller chain (#520?) and compatible sprockets. Check E-Bay. {There is a one time adjustment on the front chain which is the primary chain, the book calls for a O-ring chain. Go to the Yamaha shop and print off the drive chain slack adjustment page and it tells you step by step, you probally don't have the tool so use a punch or make one}
put a new chain on it
To tighten the chain on a Suzuki QuadRunner, start by locating the rear axle adjustment bolts on both sides of the swingarm. Loosen the axle nut and then turn the adjustment bolts evenly on both sides to increase tension on the chain. Check the chain's slack to ensure it falls within the manufacturer's recommended specifications, and then re-tighten the axle nut securely. Finally, test the chain movement to ensure it operates smoothly without excessive slack.
To replace the primary chain on a Sportster, first, remove the primary cover by unscrewing the bolts and detaching any attached components like the derby cover or clutch cable. Next, remove the old primary chain by loosening the adjuster and taking off the clutch assembly if necessary. Install the new primary chain, ensuring proper alignment and tension, then reassemble the components in reverse order, checking for correct operation before closing the primary cover. Always refer to the service manual for specific torque specifications and procedures.
Have to remove chain links, there is no chain adjustment
No. There is no adjustment. The timing chain tensioner is an oil pressure driven device that adjusts the chain tension as needed. It is located on the pivot guide behind the timing chain cover.
From the middle up shoud be at a 1/2 inch. Thats the top part of the chain in the little hole in the upper middle of the outter primary. Put your index on the bottom of the chain and lift up should be around 1/2 inch slack or lash. Too much will hit top of primary to little (too tight) with grind the adjustment shoe off. Hope this helps.
To adjust the cam chain on an XL350, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the timing cover and check the cam chain tensioner; if it's too loose, adjust the tensioner according to the manufacturer's specifications, typically by turning the adjustment screw or bolt. After adjustment, rotate the engine by hand to ensure there is no binding, then reassemble the timing cover and reconnect the battery. Always refer to the service manual for specific torque settings and procedures.
2.2 has a chain
To adjust the cam chain on a Kawasaki Voyager 1200, first, ensure the engine is cool and remove the necessary covers to access the cam chain.

After adjustment, recheck the tension and ensure everything is properly aligned before reassembling the covers. Always refer to the specific service manual for detailed procedures and torque specifications.
