Seems like everyone has a different opinion but what does Doo say.......... our Dealer says tight but it seems to tight to me,owners manual says see Dealer............
 
Tighten tensioner adjustment screw​
BY HAND.

NOTE:​
Turn adjustment screw until resistance is
strong enough that it can not be turned by hand.
Hold tensioner adjustment screw and tighten lock
nut to 36 N•m (27 lbf•ft).

 
I always roll the secondary forward and hold it there with the park brake. This puts all the slack on the tensioner side. Then hand tighten bolt and back it off as needed for the cotter pin to catch the next available hole. I check it about every other ride and adjust it as needed.
 
XP chain tension

Donny, all you had to do was ask. On page 398 of the 2008 repair manual it says to "turn screw until resistance is strong enough that it cannot be turned by hand, then hold tensioner screw and tighten lock nut to 27 ft lbs".

Hope this clears it all up,
Dustin
