Hi think it has auto chain adjustment same as my 2016 model, I reckon most of the bad vibes are with primery chain too tight put your finger in prom case hole drum tight, rather have a adjustable slipper as on iron barrel, much better nothing to go wrong.

The primary chain is tensioned by a spring loaded tensioner that that is on a ratchet that clicks up to compensate for wear so no adjustment is required , I remove my primary chain cover at service to check the state of the primary chain and tensioner, clutch and sprag for my own peace of mind.
