How to: Adjust Motorcycle Chain Tension (2016 Ninja 650)

This is an instructional video for how to properly adjust the chain tension on a 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 650.
Things to note
--Torque for rear axle = 80ft-lbs.
--Always check your chain tension both in a rear stand and on the side stand...suspension changes the tension.
--If you aren't sure if you are doing something correctly just take your bike in to a shop...it isn't that expensive...but if you do something wrong you risk wearing down the rest of your drivetrain quickly

Do you need to have the bike on a stand like this or can you adjust it using the standard side stand?

What is the swing arm spool size?

[@GIXXERBROL7]

Your chain clearance has 25MM-35MM?

[@keldonator]

That looked like an inch to me... Why did you change it?

[@3xk890]

you have to push down the the chain as well and measure from the lowest side like he did after the adjustment
