PLEASE NOTE: primary chain, compensating
sprocket, clutch basket group, & chain tension-
er must be installed simultaneously as a com-
plete assembly.
1) Assemble & install the chain tensioner assembly over
the primary chain as shown in figure 1.
2) Install the compensator sprocket with extender & spacer
(numbers 5, 6, & 7, FIG 2)(#7 is not included in this kit),
primary chain, chain tensioner, and clutch basket simulta-
neously onto the motor drive shaft & transmission main
shaft. Rotate the chain drive slightly as needed to allow the splines to line-up.
3) Install the chain tensioner nut loosely on the chain tensioner bolt.
4) Install the sliding cam onto the compensator sprock-
et, & slide the compensating sprocket cover-assembly

required with some applications, and can be purchased from your
local Harley-Davidson dealer.
