I read somewhere on here, where one member stated to another, that to properly check the amount of slack in his drive chain, is to "sit on the bike, while reaching down." The service manual makes no mention of this (sitting on the bike).
I checked my chain slack the other day, and I'm right at the upper limit of 30mm (which needs to be tightened some). The maual says the proper slack should be between 20mm & 30mm. I did this while the bike was on both stands, measuring at the middle of the chain (marking the bottom of the chain on a stick from a resting position, pushing it up until it's completely tight, then marking at that point, then measure).
Who sits on their bike, while checking for chain slack, & why do it that way?
Thanks
