OK, I have looked in the manual and it tells the specs of where the chain needs to be, but it doesn't tell what bolts loosen, tighten, etc. Can anyone tell where the parts are or even a snap shoot of which one need to be done. I don't think it matters but I have xb12r. It has just over 8 grand on motor and was going to change the fluid in the case and figured I would take of the chain adjustment in the process. Any help would be great.
 
right in front of the drain plug is a threaded shaft with an allen fitting on the bottom, with a lock nut against the case. clockwise tightens the chain
 
What he said, make sure to properly tighten it, not to tight not to loose. Should have roughly a 1/4" of play up and down in the chain
 
OK, loosen the nut and adjust. Wow, thats pretty nice set up. I figured it was going to be difficult.
Thanks Kali
