Logical thinking.

Ok, I get it now, tks again.

I'm guessing the 1/8 inch gap is where I circled the red area. Sorry for small image, had to resize.

Tks for chiming in. Well I can't do anything about that now. Was wondering if finger tight is as tight as I can turn the bolt by hand, etc?

Now I don't want to open a can of worms but how does one figure "finger tight"? That can be a wide spread depends on your finger strength, so to speak. Does that mean when the roller starts to touch the chain?

Picked up the Viper, yesterday, drove 150 kms. Runs great. Mechanic told me cam chain skipped a tooth (actually he said cam chain was untimed) but didn’t do any valve damage, somehow.

Appreciate the photo but I cannot relate to it as I've never seen a cam chain tensioner, if that's what that is, lol. Been a 2 stroke owner for 45 years, Wouldn't mind if you told me what this is.

I'll know more when I pick it up. Service managers don't always know the specifics. I can post back with the details if you think the board would be interested. Tks for chiming in.

The Viper is ready to roll. From what the service manager told me, when I turned the primary clutch clockwise, it somehow moved the cam chain tensioner to the point where it wasn't putting correct pressure on the chain. No internal damage, they adjusted the valves maybe twice I think because...

tks for the advice. Yes a valve adjustment is in the plan, there's 15000 kms on the sled, ie: 9320 miles.

So Viper surgery is scheduled for march 13th at the dealership. Hope it doesn't turn into an autopsy.

I’m worried that if it did jump time that the longer I run it, the more damage I can do to the valves. Maybe that’s a wrong assessment. All I did to the clutch is I added a washer to each bolt on the rollers to eliminate the rattling of the bolt from side to side. The rollers are still free to...

So in the shop it goes, this is way out my league. My only dilemma is that our sledding season is at best two weeks to go and, most shops the warranty last sometimes 30-60-90 days. Hoping that they can start the warranty december 1st and not waste my warranty during the summer months. I hope...

Ouch

No I can’t say I’m sure. It can be that So I should be able to rotate the clutch ccw with the plugs in under normal conditions is what you’re saying?

I wasn’t going to go there, I’m a bit ashamed. The three bolts that hold the rollers were a bit loose and rattling. But they weren’t loose because I checked. So I decided, with a suggestion from a mechanic to put 1 washer on each but doing so I turned the clutch back and forth not realizing...

I can only turn it ccw half turn and it jams. Doesn't look good. After doing the mod, I started it and it was noisy. I should have shut it down then but we were getting ready for a rip so I reversed it out of the garage and forward to the front of the house. I didn't like the sound so I left...

I will try this today, tks. Should I need to remove the plugs to do this?

I did some minor external modifications to my primary on a 2015 SR Viper RTX-DX. I inadvertently turned the primary clockwise to do the mod forgetting that this a 4 stroke, my first. So I'm wondering if I screwed up the timing somehow by doing this, is there a quick way to determine if I...
