[ST] chain tension on Single Sided Swingarm

["Marc Van Est" <MarcVE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm looking for some confirmation here:

My manual for my '04 RS [first registered in 05] says to set the chain at 35 to 40mm . The bike has the single sided swing arm, but no center stand.

To check it I'm using a paddock stand that I had an engineering firm knock up ( a crib of the Triumph one at half the price.)

This means that the rear wheel isn't suspended when I check the tension, like it would be on the ST which has a centre stand - in other words, my chain already has some tension on it when I'm measuring it.

Surely that would mean that the slack should be set a bit tighter than the setting for an ST?

Anyone got a handle on this ?


thanks
