the manual says 12 mm play in the middle of the chain. Mine was like 30 mm after just 300 miles.
When I reading the manual, decided to do an adjustment.
The retaining lugs of the adjuster were somewhat loose.
I kept the bike on the side stand (because I do not have anything else).
Adjusted it (left 4 notches free on each side).
I then tightened up the retaining lugs -- really tight (probably over 120 lb/ft) by hand
Drove for just a little bit, -- but it looks like chain loosed up a bit -- but is better than before.
I am wondering if I should have had it on the dirt bike stand (or go to a mechanic -- there is no husky dealer nearby). Or if what I had done is ok (the manual does not say that I need the rear wheel of the ground to adjust the chain).
