Check the primary chain hot, so as not to over adjust.

Open[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica] the primary chain inspection cover and check the chain. The chain adjuster hangs in the open below the primary for easy access. "It takes a 7/8-inch open-end wrench," and a 1/4 Allen and should be adjusted hot." The new Sportster manual called for 3/8 to 1/2 -inch cold and 1/4 to 3/8 inch slack while hot. [/FONT]
