Re: First time chain adjustment
All this should be done with the bike on its sidestand and in neutral.
Get a 22mm socket to undo the rear spindle nut, you only need to loosen it, and take a 5mm spanner and turn the adjusters on either side equally until the chain is within 20-30mm. The tighten the rear spindle nut to 65Nm.
Some say the markings on the swingarm aren't equal on either side, in all the time I have been working on SV's I have never come across one in the flesh where the markings have been out of alignment.
