PRIMARY CHAIN ADJ. BOLT - Replaces 68-0860
Primary chain adjuster bolt, used to take up slack in the primary chain; also listed as 68-0860.
This is the primary chain adjuster bolt, the part that lets you take slack out of the primary chain by moving the tensioner or gearbox position. It's a small piece of hardware but it's the thing you turn to get chain tension right, so it earns its keep every time you do a chain check.
