[ST] Dumb Question - Chain Tension



In the users and shop manuals chain adjustment is 35-40mm of vertical travel (about 
1 3/8" to 1 9/16")  Since new from the dealers show room, if I measure vertical 
travel by measuring the movement of the center of a pin, I get 28-34mm (about 1 
1/8" to 1 1/4").  If I measure by having the top of the chain side plate for max up 
and bottom of the chain plate for max down, the distance is right on the 35-40mm. I 
know where to measure and how to find the right place on the chain to measure - 
tightest spot and half way between the sprockets but I'm concerned it might be too 
tight.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rod
