That's why I like my 06, 88 I still have the chain inspection cover and I don't have to pull the whole primary cover to do such a simple maintenance.

[@dennislavigne7889]

Those primary gaskets are of very good quality. If you’re careful when removing and installing them you can reuse them many times with no issues

[@dtocher]

If you are setting the chain at the tight spot, why wouldn't you set it at 5/8"? That way the looser spots would be more than 5/8". It seems to me, that setting it at 7/8" would mean that the loose spots would exceed 7/8". Thanks for the video.

[@SDMF5000]

For the metric people (me) 5/8 - 7/8 is 15.8mm - 22.2mm

Thank you!

[@timojokela4554]

Thank`s Baker!

[@Beach5289]

Wouldn't tight spots be created by an elliptical rotation of the comp gear or clutch sprocket , like excessive crank sprocket shaft run out or trans input shaft ?

[@paulrevere4326]

Where are you measuring from?

[@allan9584able]

Triumph tr25 primary chain

I have a 2012 fxdb installed a comp eliminator and threw everything back on. It came with a boot to go on top of the chain tensioner. The bottom chain is now millimeters away from the gear shifter link is that safe? I know the chain gets slack when torquing or slowing down

[@98chicagobears]

hey do i have to take off the chain to put the tenchinor or can i still put it on with the chain loose

[@alpha-sixfive7433]

Aren't they self adjusting?

[@randymccalla9995]

Crazy ..the only cause for a difference is the e runout on the crank, unless your trans shaft is already bent ( tight spot should be 5/8 so the loose spot is never more than 7/8)...... otherwise noisy primary

[@manuelnieves6791]

The has to be and gear ?

[@JoeLyonsHDguy]

Who's compensator setup is that?

[@blizzardboyy]

I installed this and followed the instructions and video. How often do you need to do this?

[@lionelscott5839]

Would it not be a good idea to remove the chain from sprockets and relocate so the power stroke is not always at the same place . This should streach the chain in a new section and over time chain would not have such a mark difference between loose and tight spots .
