Potential Stupid Question Alert (PSQA) -

When inspecting the primary chain tension for an XB9R, the Service Manual says to "rotate engine to move primary chain".

How is this accomplished? Will the bike on a stand, in neutral and then rotating the tire accomplish this?

With the bike on the stand rotating the tire with the bike in gear will do it for you.

Also, go all the way up to fifth to rotate. It's much easier.

If you still can't get it to rotate, you'll need to pull the plugs.
