Hello All,
I was just wondering, is the primary chain adjustment spec of (3/8"-1/2") the total slack? I measured mine by pushing down then pulling up setting it to just over 3/8". Was that right or was I just supposed to lift it and measure? Sorry for the dumb questions....

See ya,
Nick

You are right its the total free play up and down 3/8-1/2" cold. Hot is 1/4-3/8" , also try to find the tightest part of the chain to take your measurement.

Yes take measurements in several different rotated spots, then measure at the tightest.
