Chaincase adjustment from access on belly pan

[yamamarc]

Hey I was tightening a gear clamp on a coolant hose that was leaking ( got it from the oil filter access on belly pan)
And notice that you can see the chain case adjustment bolt. I pretty sure for those of you with stock mufflers want to save on removing muffler and buying a new gasket you can adjust it from there when doing your oil change

Wow !!! yamamarc, that's brilliant !!! I'm for sure going to use this trick when I need to adjust the chain tension.

That is really good to know. Gotta change my oil and adjust my chain for the season. Perfect!

Good to know Marc! My turbo quiet muffler is like the stock one and in the way.

WOW this is helpful, should be easy to do when I change oil and filter. I was dreading trying not to tear the gasket........I am notoriously poor at the 'be careful / gentle stuff'.

I could not get access to the jam nut from the access panel access. I tried this earlier in the season. It was faster for me to just take the muffler off make the adjustment and put it back together again. I think I would have spent longer trying through the access panel. The jam nut is tucked in behind and I did not see any way to back it off or tighten it. Let me know if I missed something, but for me I feel the muffler removal is a faster simpler way.

I bent a 14 mm wrench to get to the jamb nut. Need to tweet it some more. Here is a picture of what I made.
