So I know the standard for chain slack is 1-1.5 inches, respectively. When I cleaned + lubed my chain earlier in the week, I checked the slack on stands and it seemed to be within the recommended range for slack (probably closer to 1.5inches).
Today, however, a buddy of mine let me ride his Harley Sporty while he road my R6. As I was following him down the road, I took a second to observe my own bike, partly for it's beauty and partly to see if everything looked good. I noticed my chain jumping around, although not too excessively, but from the looks of it about an inch or so of travel.
Is this normal? If not, do I simply adjust the chain tension and measure it with a ruler down to an inch?
Thanks in advance, as I already know the BARF community will have some insight into this and provide great advice.
