Hi
It was advised on Facebook that marking the top links on each chain (during initial calibration) might speed up resetting the chains if necessary, but I don’t find any mention of this in your post.
Are these marks no longer useful?
In my previous post, I explained how to reset them the “normal” way, which works for all kits. Marking the chains does indeed make resetting them a bit faster (by a couple minutes). It allows one to bypass the system’s automated chain-extension step.
Here is how you re-set your chains with marked links.

Go to “Actions->Calibrate” and use the buttons to turn both sprockets in either direction. The objective is to put each sprocket so that one tooth faces upward in the 12:00 o’clock position (pick any tooth). Install both chains placing the marked link in the 12:00 position, then press “Quit”. Next, go to “Actions->Advanced” and press “Set Chain Length - Manual”. That’s it!

That’s it!

Wow! You not only helped me understand what the marks are for but also what to do if I ever replace the chains or the marks fade out.
Thank you very much for the detailed write-up.
