Default how often?

do you guys have to adjust your chains? it seems i have to adjust mine every 2 weeks to keep it in the 1 to 1 3/8 spec honda calls for. i'm thinkin it would be okay to go up to 2 inches of slack between adjustments. what do you guys think? thanks

You shouldn't have to adjust your chain every two weeks. Usually about 2-3k miles or so. Are you sure the axle is torqued to 69 ft lbs? Also, don't let it get to 2" because it'll slap around way too much.
