      I dunno about the 450, but the tensioner on my 850 is supposed to run with the setscrew backed out 1/4 turn, making it an "automatic" chain tensioner.

      Id be worried about running it locked if its not supposed to be.

        Yes your right LW, must have missed that bit.
        Shanzi that set screw should be backed out 1/4 turn, then tighten locknut, that way the plunger will take up the camchain slack as needed.
        I suppose there is nothing really wrong with what you have done, but it would mean you would have to do it on a regular basis.

          Correctamundo!

          Yup. Absolutely right.

          I just picked up on that re-reading through the manual just a minute ago.

          Saw your as-usual-good-advice when I amended my post to the correct procedure, I will amend my setscrew in the morning.


          KEWL, DUDES!!! Once again. =D>
