I thought I'd give my chain tension a tweak as I'd studiously ignored it for the past 1700 miles. Its nice and easy to do only requiring a 22mm socket, torque wrench for 130 Nm tightening torque and two spanners 10mm and 12mm respectively to nip up the adjuster bolt/lock nut.
But the main reason I'm posting it so that newbies or even seasoned sports bike riders dont make the mistake of checking the tension with the rear unloaded on the centre stand. If you do what appears to be just right tension will be like a bass guitar string once the bikes wieght (note I have the Tenere) is bearing down on the swingarm.
Its quite easy to lunch the gearbox o/p shaft bearings if the chain is run tight so always check with the bike on the ground held upright to be safe.
