Would like help with my chain tensioner.

[bobmnh]

I serviced the chaincase and the adjuster seems to be over adjusting the chain. I have attached a pic of Rockerdan's photo and one of mine. My adjuster is much more tighter on the chain. Installed a new spring on the tensioner with the same result. Any help will be appreciated

Stock gears.

If Dan had a 22 top in the picture they run a tighter chain. Stock gears are a bit looser .

It’s pretty common to use up most of the adjustment. Most of them that come in with miles on look like yours,

I believe he does have a 22 gear.

That's encouraging that it's normal. What is the average life of a chain do you think?

I’m thinking between 7 and 10 thousand miles. To be safe. Gears and chain.
