1989 ET400 T/R Drive Chain adjustment screw?

[DaddyRenegade]

I bought this sled and today I noticed the chain tension adjustment screw is in the bottom position, so no more adjustment possible.

What should I do? Open the chain case cover and have a look or could I just ride the sled this winter and do the check up in spring?
The odometer says 4000Km, don't know if that's true but the condition of the sled is very good.

Welcome to the site.
Looking at the blue silicone on the cover and that adjuster I'm guessing someone has altered the sprockets to change the gear ratio?

Myself I would want to know whats going on in there and change the chain case before riding it anyways...

Thanks caravanman.

Well, I tried to remove the chain case cover, no luck.
I removed all allen screws from the cover + two screws that are screwed from the chain case bottom part in to the chain case cover. I also screwed out the chain tesioner screw.
When I tried to remove the cover it seems to be "stuck" where the chain tensioner screw is located. So I could not remove the cover...

I have checked the microfiche of the Enticer 400 T/R and they don't seem to be quite right compared to my attached foto.
If you look at the microfiche the tensioner screw seems to be in the bottom part of the chain case.
But if you look at my foto the tensioner screw is actually in the chain case cover.

So guys do you have any idea how to remove the chain case cover?

Here is a picture of the microfiche
