Anyway I've checked the front sprocket now too and it's right so guess everything must be OK. Just a bit surprised I've got less chain adjustment left now than I had before it was changed.

Re: Which chain adjustment marker (new chain)
Usually a chain is knackered well before it gets to full adjustment.
Last one I had was on naked with I think a 47 or 48 tooth rear sprocket and 2 extra links in chain, so it was same, not on furthest forward spot on swingarm. But when it was dead it was only 2 or 3 markers further back than when it started, but was proper knackered. (over 1mm of play in some of the links!)

Re: Which chain adjustment marker (new chain)
If its the right chain with the right sprockets perhaps your bike has the wrong swingarm fitted?On the curvy the S has a 1cm shorter swingarm than the N model and I think the pointy is the same.Maybe you have an S swingarm in your bike.
Having said that I would suggest fitting a scottoiler meaning that you will never need to adjust the chain and it wont matter if theres not much adjustment available.
