Yep, I was gonna say, "Google is your friend" - a quick search on "harley davidson primary chain" brought up articles, pictures, videos. OP, I'd start there and c'mon back here with any more detailed questions...

I have an 06 Harley Davidson XL883C and under "Safe Operating Maintenance" in the owners manual (p 103) it says:
"2. Belt and primary chain for proper tension, wear or damage." Also: "6. Engine oil and primary chaincase/transmission fluid levels." My bike has a belt and not a chain, so I have no idea what "primary chain" is or "primary chaincase". I can't check it, if I don't know what/where it is. Thanks for any help you can give. You can get good info for routine maintenance here and through Google, but if you're planning on getting into more than just routine checks and adjustments, drop the $100 for a shop manual. You don't need the full manual for just the basic stuff. |

its like a timing chain in a cbr. the difference is, its on the side of the motor, not inside the motor. pretty sure that is a good comparison.

If you're gonna keep the bike for a while, get the service manual. It's cheap f-up insurance for if and when you get a hair up your ass to work on it or just want to know how something's attached or whatnot. Save ya some time from dealing with asshats too.

Thanks for everyone's input. I don't have an interest on working on my bike, but the maintenance suggested to be done by the owner in the owners manual includes things like checking primary chain tension, wear, and damage, & checking primary chaincase fluid level, hence my question.
