So I have been using a product from Motion Pro that clamps onto the rear sprocket and has a metal rod that you sight along to check alignment. I have been very tedious with it but I guess not enough. I recently had to remove the rear wheel to repair a tire puncture and to my surprise the rear sprocket had a little wear to the inside edge. I have not really been keen on using the marks on the swingarm but I called and talked to the technician at the dealership where I bought the bike and he said that's the only way they align them. I said 'alrighty then'! After installing the wheel and getting ready to adjust it, I had a thought. What if I took a set of digital calipers and used the depth gauge on them and get the alignment exactly perfect? So I tried it and it couldn't have worked better. I installed my Motion Pro alignment tool and checked. It was right on the money. So I guess I got lucky there was only minimal wear to the sprocket.
Thought I'd post this and share my experience.
