Hydraulic chain tensioner
Unome : I installed one of those hydraulic chain tensioners about 4200 miles ago and it appears it is working as promised. You set the unit 1/8" off the bottom of the inner primary cover, then use the included shims to adjust the tensioner shoe if necessary to get chain adjustment within spec. That's it. I only mention the shims to illustrate that while this unit does reduce manual adjustment intervals , it will not replace regular inspection by yours truly .
On yea... Hippo was tellin ya straight, as usual. There are 2 of those screws attaching that serrated piece on, upper and lower . IMHO I would redo the lower one as well. If the upper one was loose, there is a good chance the lower one has loosened as well.
Hippo : Question for you...I had these same screws come loose on my scooter a few months back. I looked everywhere I could think of in my HD repair manual. Nowhere could I find the torque value for these screws. Could you shed any light on this subject?
