Adjust your chain to the loosest number recommended
in your owner's manual. For example, if the free play
range specified is .875 minimum to 1.125 maximum
inches, adjust the free play to 1.125 inches.

I can't read that, can you make it larger?

Would a riders weight also come into play? Heavier rider will definitely compress the suspension more than a lighter rider. If most bikes are factory set for 170-180lb rider, are their #'s set to reflect that as well? Just curious. I personally like to go with 1.5-2" of slack.

about 1.25 to 1.5 inches is what I look for at tech

I would think that the numbers in the owner's manual
would cover the entire length of available suspension travel, so that the rider's weight would not be a factor
in setting the chain free play.

Too much slack in the chain is definately something that
can be felt as you get on and off throttle, so I prefer to
run as little as I can get through tech with, as long as
that amount is within my bikes specifications.

Usually ends up at about 1.125 for my '03 GSX-R1000.

actually if the sag is properly set, the heavier rider, on his his own setup bike, should not compress the suspension any more then a lighter on his own bike.

The bottom of your chain should "smile" at you. ;-)
