Primary chain adjustment
While I am waiting for the repair manual to come, can anyone tell me the free-play (hot and cold) for the primary chain? 06' TC 88 5-speed, is the adjustment under the inspection cover? Please guide me through, I have never done it. Thanks

RE: Primary chain adjustment
This is what it states in my 2005 Softail service manual.
Push on the upper strand on the chain, to verify it has free movement, midway between the engine compensating sprocket, in the front and the clutch sprocket, in the rear.
A) With the engine cold, upward (not total) free play in upper strand should be 5/8-7/8 in. (15.9- \\; 22.3 mm).
B) With the engine hot, upper (not total) free play in upper strand should be 3/8-5/8 in. (9.5- \\; \\; \\; \\; \\; \\ ; 15.9 \\; mm)
