Tightening the chain?

Totally agreed NW!!!

ceo... then some bikes are different. Personally I would think you should set it with the rider. If not that is like setting the suspension without the rider.

Further, if you ever have your bike "dialed" in at a track day... they will always tell you that your OE chain specs are too tight. That if you fully unload the suspension the chain will get too tight and inhibit the suspensions travel. Happened to me...
