Hi,
I've just fitted a new chain to my Yamaha 600 Diversion.
Does anyone know how the slack on the chain should be adjusted ie How much the deflection should be & whether the measurement is taken with the deflection going up or down?
Thanks very much.
Pete Very Happy

Should be in the manual. I would say 40mm max. Thats measured at the tightest point on the chain.

Thumbs Up
