Adjusting the Primary Chain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
check the distance of movement on the primary chain...2003 Road King.
Cold...3/8 - 5/8 - inch (9.5 to 15.9mm) * * * Hot...5/8 - 7/8 - inch (15.9 to 22.2)
no way José am I gonna take the whole chaincase cover off to get me grubby fingers under the tensioner pad I tried lifting it through the small gap after loosening the nut to raise it. But to no avail.
Brainwave.....Metal coathanger bent just what I needed the 3rd hand....
Then after making this bit of kit I located it under the pad...
Then I managed to lift the pad to the desired height and tighten the nut and again check my play along the top of the chain
