1. remove old one
2. install manual one
3. Adjust finger tight + 1 full turn of the new to "ball park" it
4. start bike and hear it chatter (if no chatter sound loosen it until chatter is heard)
5. adjust SLOWLY (tighten) until chatter goes away
6. back off (loosen) 1/2 or 3/4 turn (very mild chatter will come back)
The chain will stretch somewhat over a period of time depending on your riding habits and may need adjusted again. LOCTITE the nut after the 2nd adjustment.
It's a chain, better too loose than too tight and don't expect 100% silent operation.
