@50pannmore the values are in the Facebook reference. But I, and likely others, don’t want the liability of providing you a possibly wrong reference. Unless you sign my 432 page liability release form, and initial every page.

If you are going to do any work on the bike yourself, the best investment is the factory service manual. It’s about the cost of 1 hour of dealer labor.

A,I really don't see how anyone could be held accountable or liable for quoting what the book says! B, I'm not going to take my bike to the FN dealership to adjust the chain I'm asking for a simple number if it's to complex for you or anyone else to handle I'm sorry !!! I already called the two local dealers and got no f****** help but thank you for the concern of everyone else !!! And C, nobody is working on my bike!!!! You can take your own bike to the dealership .

Nobody said to take it to the dealership. We specifically said:
- look it up on the Facebook reference
- buy the factory service manual..

The rear is a 36mm nut, 13mm for the adjusters and 100 ft lbs for the torque to tighten the axle nut.

Guess you have to be a member to see it , says 95-105ft-lbs so ADM is correct at 100

I do have to agree with the original poster. I’ve owned a lot of chain drive bikes and the PA is the only one I have seen that doesn’t have the chain adjustment instructions in the owners manual and specifically states to take it to the dealer,

I could not agree more, had one on order for over 2 months. Ordered it the day I bought the bike. You are correct about the price of the manual being about 1 hour of labor, What a bunch of thieves! I can only hope it's not full of errors and the spine doesn't break after a few uses like my last HD manuals. But I'm not holding my breath.
