Because all what this is a bout is that is she likely to have a failure by using the lines? And the answer is a big fat no... Like Tigger said, he checked his lines to begin with on his sato chain adjusters and once he proved they were accurate, he just went by them. If there was a defect in his swingarm, he would of been subject to the same inaccuracy.... While there can be defects from bike to bike and cause inaccuracies, it's not common. You can check to make sure it's not once by using other methods and pretty much be set to go with using the lines. Most of the methods mentioned above can have pretty good chance at having minor defects and leading to inaccuracies as much or more in the adjustment as well.
Not part of the conversation above, but I really like the DRZs adjustment setup. It's not as flexible as a floating setup, but the step guide adjustments make for easy chain adjustments. That way I get the flexibility of different sprockets for different type riding and still have an easy chain alignment.
