balancer adjust??????????????

That's it, loosen it a full turn or two, it releases a spring loaded
arm that has an idler gear for the chain, the spring does the
tensioning then the adjuster bolt holds it so it can't go any looser.
Do not over tighten the bolt, not sure of the torque spec, just keep
the word "snug" in your mind, forget "tight", I use a metric
nutdriver if that means anything. Some say it is best to do this adj.
when the oil is hot as the mechanism may move more freely? I just do
it when I change my oil. One friend of mine has a procedure that has
him rotating and the engine with the rear wheel and holding it while
tightening the bolt to try to get the most slack out, I'm not
convinced and don't sweat such details. cheers
