How do I measure the chain tension of my w800? Some say that someone has to sit on the bike to put some weight on the rear wheel and others say you have to put the bike on the centerstand and than measure when the rearwheel is off the ground. So many people, so many answers. Even at my dealers they say different things, so once again I put my faith in your capable hands. Answers in German are kein Problem.

Edwin,

if German is no problem, have a look at this, article #5

Hallo Edwin,

die grundlegende Idee ist die, dass die Kette in jedem Fahrzustand noch etwas Spiel hat, dabei aber so straff wie möglich gespannt sein sollte. Den Rest kann sich ein vernunftbegabtes Lebewesen selbst dazu reimen.
