While chain adjustments are straightforward, I will say that chain maintenance on my 2017 EX is harder than any bike I have had--and I have had a lot of them. The chain is just pretty obscured by components on the bike, including the left side muffler. When I spray a chain with cleaner or lube I do not like hitting anything other than the chain itself. I use something between the side of the chain I am not spraying, and the bike to catch the overspray. It's a pain on the EX, particularly when lubing the inside chain side plates.
