    Hi all nick from Maidstone Kent. Pick your brains if i could,checked chain adjustment, about 48 mm,should be 35 to 45mm,but could not find a tight spot,bikes done 1,000 miles, is this possible, adjusted to 35mm.used a chain alignment tool,spot on,but alignment notches were half a notch out is this normal. and have all 865 speedmarster (injected )engines have a blind spot at the beginning of the throttle,i have turned the tick over up to 11,00 rpm made a big difference, got that from your forum,thanks nick.

    NEVER trust the marks, they are just there as a guide.
