9. See Figure 3 and Table 1. Using a ball end hex driver for the socket head cap screw adjust the chain tension to specifications.
10. Tighten side plate screws to 6.2–6.8 N·m (55–60 in-lbs). Bend a tab of the lock plate for each hex cap screw choosing a tab that is closest to a flat on head of the hex cap screw.
11. Remove the adjuster screw after tightening and save the screw to reuse.
NOTE
As chains stretch and wear, they run tighter at one spot than another. Always adjust the free play at the tightest spot in the chain. Replace the primary chain if it is worn to the point where it cannot be properly adjusted.
Always keep the primary chain properly adjusted. Allowing the chain to run too tight or too loose will result in excessive chain and sprocket wear.
12. Replace the primary cover and fill with lubricant as needed.
13. Connect negative cable to battery.
14. Refer to the appropriate service manual and install seat.
