Chaincase questions

[scooterwj]

I opened up the chaincase on my SW to check the 2 screws on the tension roller. They were tight and had green locktite on them. I adjusted my tension to finger tight then 1.5 turns out.... Check out the video, chain seems really loose. I did the same thing on an '18 viper a couple weeks ago and the chain was much tighter. Is this correct? Should I loosen the tensioner on the viper? Finger tight is so subjective I think...

Also, check out the pictures from when I removed the reverse actuator/detent/etc. It looks like it wasn't installed correctly when I compare this to what the service manual shows. Look where the extension is in relation to the detent block. I understand the process to put this back together, it just seems like it wasn't done correctly at the dealer... Am I right about that?

You are absolutely right!
What a joke :-(.

Exactly why for about a year now most of us have talked about ONE TURN OUT only. I never ran mine with 1.5 turns. Even 1 turn out is looser then I liked, but seems fine.

I ran my sr viper and sidewinder 1 turn out no issues and 2 other winders also same outcome.

By any sled standards that is too loose...I would go finger tight then back it off 1/2 turn.

That's too loose and that reverse detent is totally wrong.
