checking chain tension

[the Ferret]

Fred from center of pins in static position to center of pins in pushed up position half way between sprockets measured in several places and adjusted at tightest spot. (although you could use any part of the chain..bottom edge, or top edge as long as you use same part for both measurements, but center of pin is an easy one)

There is some controversy in that the manual calls for a free play of 1-1.4" ( one and four tenths? Or nearly 1 1/2") and the sticker on the side of the swingarm ( which you can barely see btw on the deluxe lol) calls for 1 - 1 1/4" of slack.
