At 2100 miles my chain is at 1.25" and I'm not planning on adjusting until it gets to 1.4". I've always run my chains at the loose end of the spec and found that they don't wear as fast that way.

Hey Randy, I'm with you. I just use my finger to check the slack. When it looks like it's getting close, I pull out the tape measure.


Check the decal on your swingarm

Yep. It says keep chain adjusted to 1 1/4" (30mm). That is the midpoint of the range. It also says to see the operating manual. That lists the range as 1.0" to 1.4" (25mm - 35mm).
