    I think he means tension. Yes, thats within factory spec (25mm-30mm IIRC). Or as we do here in 'Murica 'About a long inch'.

    That's what she said.....

    I thought the 44T required different tension.

    If you believe this picture, the distance from the bottom of the chain link to the swingarm should be 30 ± 2 mm. You leave 25 mm, less than specified in the manual.
    Under these conditions, the probability of failure chain and rear sprocket is higher, because chain tensioned stronger.
    Just to make sure I understand this correctly, as I plan to do my first chain check/adjustment now as I reach my first 150 miles on my bike. In this picture the chain is at 25 mm and is nowhere near 32, so that chain is too tight, assuming the person is lifting on the chain in the picture. Is this correct? I have never done this measuring before on all my previous bikes I've owned. The 1 inch is close enough rule worked fine on my 4 other bikes I've owned. Thanks for clarifying gent's!

    It will save ur chain slider , you should here a jet sound when decel if correctly adj.

    After a while I would suggest a higher quality chain. less side flapping save chain slider and both sprockets. IMO

    Ya, I keep my OE chain well within specs and now need a third slider at 8000 miles. Glad they are cheap and easy to install!
