Using the supplied chain tension gauge

To take a correct measurement, the bike must be set
on the side stand. Proper chain tensioning must
always be inspected at the point where the chain is
tightest (then repeat measurement at several
equidistant points of the chain).
Note
Chain tensioning changes according to the set
Riding Mode. It is recommended to take the
measurement with preload set to Level 1 (Riding
Mode "URBAN" and motorcycle setup SET TO
"RIDER ONLY").
Before proceeding, move the chain down with one
finger, release it and apply gauge (1).
Chain tension gauge (1) must be inserted between
swinging arm and lower chain sliding shoe, at the
chain sliding shoe central fastening point (Fig. 232).
