Don't worry, another in the works... if life will stay outta the way.

Did it! I was quite apprehensive as I've never opened opened up a clutch cover before but it went pretty smooth.
With a bit of time and pondering it was quite easy as wrenching goes. Verslagen's instructions are very helpful and there aren't really any pitfalls if you follow them.
Only thing concerning was that my spring pin ended up being quite close to end of travel - so does this mean my chain is already quite worn?
I'd say the pin has about 8mm before meeting the end of its travel. I figured I'd just keep it in the inner hole and look at it again next oil change. This sound right?
I have a good feeling tonight after doing this to my savage

It would've been a little tight to go to the second hole.

When we got our 06 it had 15,000K on the clock and the adjuster was out at 19mm.

That's short, but not terribly short. We've see some at 8,000.

I work as a tutor and go to students houses, normally very close to each other, so many short rides. Typically ride about 5 miles to an area and then do 4 short hops of a 1/2 mile to each student and then 5 miles home. Do this 5 days a week. Is this causing a lot of wear? I usually start her up and then put helmet and gloves on to let it warm up/oil circulate. Maybe I should consider more frequent oil changes than the recommended 3,500 miles with my riding?

When the engine heats up it gets longer from crank to cam,when it cools, it gets shorter, KInda long typing.. but, heat up & cool down cycles seem to play a big role in the rate the tensioner comes out, IF I was keepin mine Id be gettin rid of some of the teeth in that thing,,
