just some thougts
rememder that this is an modyfied ac case, earlyer they only had the spring tensioner and no bolt tensioner,
they had some issues with that case due to breakage of the tensioner spring, the spring also coould be too weak some times so the chain break the chain housing at high speeds. so I think the spring tensioner bolt are there only as an safty , if the spring should break og somthing , so the tensioner bolt do not have to be tighned so hard, 2 turns out is also ok,
if the tensiner bolt are tightned to hard you will get problems with your reverse gear shifting and with time you will only have reverse gear left , had this issue with my sons sidewinder so i know, yamaha dealer said the tensioner was to tight althoug it was as discribetd in the manual.
