How tight should the primary chain be on an 06 roadking classic?
It's a pain to get at through the inspection cover, is there an easier way?

RE: Primary Chain
It would easier for those you that have a hard adjusting the chain thru the inspection cover to remove the primary cover.
It would be a good idea to have a newprimary cover gasket on hand if this is the route you take.

RE: Primary Chain
Don't adjust too loose -- will cause rapid wear of chain and sprockets. When you find the sweet spot, you'll know it. At least for me I could never get the bike into neutral until I found the right adjustment. Once I did, a slight blip on the throttle and she goes right in. The HD auto chain adjuster might be the way to go someday, after I change to cam gears, upgrade to Lyndall brake pads, get the Revtech Stealth DFO, etc. etc. etc.
