Default 2013 Ultra Primary adjustment procedure

On my bike there is no inspection cover for the primary adjuster thingy. Ok not the right term but you get the point, do we have to remove the whole primary cover to do this? I didn't see anything with the clutch cover off to indicate you could do it from that area. Or did Harley finally use a self adjusting chain tensioner?

It's automatic..... No adjustment...... But it can get the chain too tight and damage the inner primary bearing......

Kind of what I thought Thanks. I notice other 2013's make the same whine as you gear down, must be the chain being a bit tight.
