Who has adjusted their chain?

Question, just got the bike out of storage and after the shake down checks I took it around the block a few times. If the chain is loose would it sound like it is hitting the plastic chain guard or rubbing against it?

Plus I need to find out what oil the stealership used when they serviced it last fall as there is a tick on the motor I don't remember but that is not for this thread...

I took someone for a ride on mine last year and felt a slight tap through the footpegs after. Looking at the tiny plastic guard mounted on the swingarm I found it did have grooves on it from contact with the chain. I believe that's what I was feeling. Extra weight of the pillion must have slackened the chain that extra bit out of adjustment.

As far as the oil - looks like 10w30 is the way to go on our bikes.
