So I did my first drive chain adjustment. It was at about 2.5" from where the
Clymer manual shows to measure, which seemed really, really loose. I tightened
it up to about 3/4-7/8" (Clymer says 3/4"-1 3/16", I figured tighter-end of the
range would be better as it gets looser but let me know if I should loosen it a
bit).
Took her for a spin, she seems happy. Noticeably different noise coming from
the drive chain now although after another 6 hours on the
Thanks so much to everyone for their excellent advice!
Peace,

You're probably correct I just eyeball mine to where it is about a 1/4 inch
away from the swing arm since loose is better than tight. Sent via BlackBerry

an inch and a half seems really loose. I adjusted my own chain to 3/4" which
is on the low end of the Honda spec.

Speaking of the chain. Be careful to leave some slack in it (about 1.5
inches) if it is too taught it can mess up the counter shaft bearing. Too
loose and it will slap the swing arm and feel clunky.
