All you got to do is find that magic oil and it will fix anything wrong with a harley. I cant believe all the oil people has not figured out how to mix that chit up because you damn sure know harleys got it right.

remove the forward inspection window plate on the primary and you should be able to get to the lock nut that holds the tensioner. Loosen that slowly while maintaining pressure on the tensioner as to not let the tensioner drop multiple teeth at once. Carefully let the tensioner move one tooth and retighten to factory specified torque spec.
