2015 Viper Chain Tension

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?
Sorry, I had a thought related to the topic. That's why I didn't reply to your comment with an answer.

That being said, I assume finger tight would be as tight as you can get it with your finger. That's what finger tight means to me anyway. I expect there is enough tolerance in this adjustment to compensate for the varying finger strength of different individuals. Otherwise, there would probably be a torque setting published. Just a guess on my part. I could be wrong.
 

Finger tight is light. Have your Girl use two fingers. Better yet with cover off you can look. Should be about a 1/8 gap between adjuster screw and tensioner at 1.5 turns back.

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

Logical thinking.
