Default Primary Adjustment
Hey Guys,

Forgive the stupid question, but I am curious. When I did the 1k service on my sporty, I had to adjust the chain tension inside the primary cover. Well there is no cover to take off to do that on the 08 train. So is this just something that is not there on the train?

Thanks guys

Jason
