-Turn the tension bolt in until you feel it make contact with the guides and stop then make a 1/4 turn and snug up the locking nut.
-Start the bike and only let it idle at this point listen for the stupid rattle that made you do this anyway if you hear it tighten the bolt a little more until its gone (Be careful not to tighten to much if you do the bikes RPMS will lower simply back off the bolt once the noise is gone shut the bike off and lock the locking nut in place.
-Start the bike again making sure everything seems normal give it a few reves and if its ok you can assemble the bike back together reversing the steps.
-Once your assembled take her for a ride to check her out and thats it.
-If the rattle ever comes back which it should not simply tighten the tension bolt a little and thats it.
