Recently I noticed quite a bit of buzz when holding constant @ 4000 RPM, and I think I need to tighten the chain a little..
According to the manual:
Make the rear wheel turn until you find the position where chain is tightest. Set the motorcycle on the side stand. With just a finger, push down the chain at the point of measurement and release. Measure the distance (A) between the centre of the chain pins and the aluminium section of the swinging arm. It must be: A = 27 ÷ 29 mm.

2. Is A referring to:
a. Lowest point (pressed down with 1 finger) to neutral? (no finger)
ORb. Lowest point (pressed down with 1 finger) to highest point? (pressed up with 1 finger)
