Scrambler Available Chain Adjustment

I adjusted my chain today and yeah It seems like they are pretty far out, but it feels like I could still tighten that chain to zero play if I wanted to. I wouldn't sweat it.

 

The one I had on demo while mine was serviced was the same, is the chain too long to start with I wonder.

 

Has it got anything to do with the Scrambler having longer suspension travel therefore needs to be set slacker, when on the side stand - I believe the figure might be 35 to 40 mm?

 

I didn't pay that much attention to how far the suspension traveled but it didn't seem excessive, what I did notice was that the chain adjusters were at about 75% of their range like it had one or two links too many? The bike had only covered 1800 miles.

 

Sorry mate, the point I was trying to make is that IF the longer suspension travel requires more chain slack (when checked on it's side stand) then the adjusters will be more forward.
