Yup. I used the off the ground measurement.

Here's a new gauge with the new specification.

From the manual: "Measure if the chain slack is around 25-32 mm (1 – 1.25 inches) at the end of the chain guide." This means +/- 12.5mm to 16mm above and below the reference (centre line), which should be 0 deflection (pull the chain taught on the bottom). So, 20.5+12.5=33, and 20.5+16=36.5...

Let me know what you think of it.

Yup. I know it seems a bit tight, but it works. I'm not right at the minimum mark, but not over the max. The chain runs nice and quiet. I used the printed specs. to design it. I had one for my CRF450. Before I used it there I had no idea I could ride without chain slap. You can lie on the seat...

I use this handy gauge I printed based on the specifications. Works great; no chain slap.

After my first ride, I found the chain slack was out of specifations. I find it difficult to get the chain slack just right so I built a slack gauge that works well. I posted it in another thread here. I only do motocross with my Varg and never had a problem. After adjusting with my gauge, I...

I let an eBike hater ride my Varg. He came back a believer.

It will be easy to tell if you have the good cord. It has a professional molded cap that can't be disassembled while the problematic version has a screw on type. If you get that version, simply take it apart and clean up the connections before using it and you will have no problems.

I love the regenerative breaking on my Varg. I run about 80% and 52 HP, and hardly have to use the regular brakes on the MX track. I think the regen braking is smoother and doesn't create braking bumps but when it hits them it smoothly tracks them instead of skidding off the top of each one...

The reference level represents 0 chain deflection, that tells the gauge is in the right place. The first platform above that is the minimum chain slack, and the top platform is the maximum chain slack. Once you set the slack correctly the bike runs quieter with no chain slap.

I put a Bridgstone Battlecross X40 on it. Unfortunately, I also had to put it away for the winter after only a few test laps. I'll have to wait until next season to see how it work out.

It goes where your "3 fingers" would go, except it is more precise with the Reference level:

Here is a 3D model of the Varg chain slack gauge I made. Makes it easy to adjust the chain to specifications. Pull the chain tight by pushing down the bottom, and slide the gauge along the swing arm until the reference (0 point) touches. Release the chain and then tighten the chain until it goes...
