I have downloaded a Honda service manual but wtf? i cant find any specifiction info on torque settings, fluid quantities, chain slack etc, does anyone have a link to this info?
Could anyone give me the proper recommended chain slack i should be running as ive searched and found varying measurements, cheers guys

 

 

I think the recommendation is around an inch.

You're basically safe anywhere between "not going to fly off" and "not so tight it binds"

 

Many thanks for the torque charts compster.

if i set chain slack to how i would normally about 3 fingers of movement i get a loud clang when i let the clutch out which ive found to be the chain slapping the swing arm so i have to set it tighter than i have done on previous bikes with only about 3/4" of movement? Cush drive i can just about get some movement by hand. The gearbox seems to have loads of backlash, which is apparent if you put it in gear and rock the wheel backwards and forwards when on a paddock stand it. Has anyone else noticed this? do you think something worn? The chain and sprockets are only 6 months old and still like new.
I dont like running the bike with the chain that tight but the clang is annoying.
