Re: chain tightness
Thr "true" way of determines how taught your chain is would be kinda complicated.
First, you would want to take off the rear shock(gotta have a center stand). Next, you would want the swingarm to be as parrellel to the frame as you could get it. You wouldnt want it to be really tight. Just alittle bit of slack. Adjust it to where it has alittle slack. It would be a good time to grease up with bushings on the shock also. Put the shock back on make sure everything is tightened down good. Make a reference mark(in' your head)somewhere on the swingarm. Let it go to free sag(just sitting there..no weight from you on it) and get out a tape measure and check how much slack it has. Then from now on you know.
Thats the way i do it. Peace
