I pulled the right cover to have a go at my clutch, and wanted to assess the balancer chain adjustment, because I am a little confused by it. First, the adjustment nuts in both the Honda FSM and the Clymer call for 8 and 10mm, but they are 12 and 14mm. When I loosened the left nut, the bracket barely moved from the almost top of the groove in the bracket.I worked it back and forth a bit to make sure it was moving freely, and when I let it go from the full clockwise position, it lands about 1 mm from the full cc position. From here I don't know what to do or think.
One thing that does concern me is when I loosen the left nut, the threaded stud comes with it, ie they move as one. This doesn't look right according to the manuals which talk about an adjusting nut only.
What should I be doing here? And what exactly does this adjustment do? Is the balancer chain the one to the left of the adjustment nuts? because it seems loose to me.
