Default Primary Chain Adjust
Trying to adjust primary chain. Could someone tell me the easiest way to rotate sprockets to tightest point on chain. Also does the slack vary that much? Thanks

Personally I have never worried about the whole rotating thing, I adjust the chain so I have the width of the chain as free play (top of chain loose is the same spot as bottom of chain when lifted), seems to have worked fine for me the last 4 years and 20 thousand + miles.
I know it's not the "spec" way to do it but works for me.
