Tim,

As far as I know, all 748/996 models are the same in that you measure the tension at the point of the chain that runs below the swingarm just in front of the curved lower edge of the swingarm. If I've understood the decal on my bike correctly, the tension should be 25mm total movement in the chain in an up and down movement.

Now the argument is, do you take this measurement when the bike's on it's sidestand unloaded or with the rider sat on it?

Hope this helps mate
