Is the information for the chain slack in the owners manual correct?
I have my doubts. For the FZ-09 (RN29) there is a chain slack of 5-15 mm recommended, when the motorcycle is on the sidestand.
This is hotly debated in the forums.
In my video I show you the difference between loaded and unloaded rear wheel and how that affects the chain tension.
I personally use a slack of 35 mm with unloaded rear wheel.
May be all of this is different for the TRACER. - But the method is the same.
In the second part of the video I show you, how you can change the chain slack.

No it's wrong. With standard ride height you need to have 20mm slack when on the sidestand. (I actually didn't find much of a difference when on a pit stand either) If you have greater ride height ( longer shock) you'll need 25mm.
This will give you a very slight amount of slack when the chain is at full extension.
