Hi!
I have a question regarding chain slack maintenance.
Most of you will probably see this and think that I can't use search - please stand by 😄
So here's the thing:
paper user manuals (in few different languages) that came with bike state that chain slack should be adjusted on center stand (photos of english manual below):
but user manual that is downloadable from honda website (https://cdn.powersports.honda.com/documentum/MWOM/ml.remawmom.2015_31mjm610_vfr800f_interceptor.pdf)
and service manual both instruct to adjust it on side stand:
Both variants specify same slack (25-35mm)
For now I opted to set slack according to service manual - I set slack to 25mm in tightest spot (after ride, on warm chain). Seems to be safer option as it's better to have it set a bit too loose rather than too tight.
I also measured difference between slack as measured on side stand and centre stand and difference is about 5-7mm so my question is whether anyone knows which procedure is correct.
