Thanks. I have the same chain case as that. I have a 2024, 600 ace expedition sport. I was looking everywhere. I didn’t want to take it apart and put it back together lol
Agree, just leave the pin in. I think you should mention that it is only finger tight. I realize that you didn't show adding a 3/8 socket wrench, but the 3/8 extension may lead people to believe you are using a socket wrench to tighten it.
That's a good point! You are correct as we are using the 3/8 extension just to grab onto and hand tighten. And yes, no need to remove the pin. Thanks for tuning in! Cheers, Jesse
Our 850s have no movement in the secondary but that may be a result of the pdrive clutch. I believe the secondary in ace series engines do have a bit of movement. Cheers, Jesse
Hey Mike, I have 2 '21 MXZ Sport 600 EFI's. I reached out to my AMSOIL rep to buy the same oil you're using here and he said I need the Severe Gear 75w-140, which is also what the website recommends. Just curious why you're using this gear oil insteadof what AMSOIL recommends for our machines?
The Severe Gear oil is a lot more expensive, so while they recommend it - its not needed. As long as you are running a good synthetic, you are ok. I have been using this stuff for years as Royal always has it. Haven't tried the newer Severe line but I have never had any issues with their basic synthetic stuff. Cheers, Mike.
Haha. Samsung Galaxy Watch. Its the best of the best. Jesse converted me from all Apple to Samsung a few years back and I don't regret it! The tech in these phones and watch are unreal, and surpass the capabilities of the iPhone and Apple watch by a long shot. Cheers, Mike
Most beauty supply places will have them such as Sally's here in the states. Sometimes also used to add marinating to meats. Here is Amazon link : www.amazon.com/Condiment-Squeeze-OAMCEG-Discrete-Measurements/dp/B086WXW3MQ
Right?! Mike is always thinking of ways to make things easier, simpler, and less messy! I think he nailed this one. Thanks for tuning in. Cheers, Jesse
You don’t need to remove your cotter key to tension your chain. The adjuster bolt is flat on 2 sides so every half revolution you will here a click it’s really convenient for adjusting on the fly not that you should have to.

Thank you!!
You are welcome! Mike
Nice job. Great explanation. Did you tighten the chain by hand or did you put a handle on the extension
We hand tightened using the extension. Never use a handle as you will over torque it.
Cheers,
Jesse
@@sledaddicz cool. Thank you. When yours is set do you have movement in the secondary. Some videos say no movement both my 600 aces have movement.

Where did you get the squeeze bottle?

Sorry guys...accidentally deleting comments here...yes you can get them off amazon just search for 16oz plastic squeeze bottles! Mike.
You can get them at the dollarama.. they are 250ml .. in the cooking utensils area.
Like the ketchup bottle idea.👍

Do you have to pull pin? It tightens without pulling the pin.
Nope you don't have to actually pull the pin. I do...Cheers, Mike

Yep! I told Mike he didn't need to remove the pin yet he did anyways. Oh well lol. Cheers,
Jesse
No need to remove the cotter pin. Just finger snug the adjuster. And that’s it.
You are correct. I never removed it when I tightened my chain. Thanks for tuning in! Cheers,
Jesse
