Yea, your gear shifts will become quite clunky if the chains slack, just wondering, why on earth are you shifting from 3rd straight to 6th? It a dont a make a sense!

If you've got the faired bike then put it on the centre stand (the naked doesn't have one) and use the supplied toolkit. loosen the axle bolt, but only just loose, it aint gotta be completely slack. Then loosen the locknuts on the adjuster bolts at the back of the swingarm, turn the adjuster bolts (you'll prob only need half a turn or so on each) until the chain is to the desired tension.

Make sure that the alignment marks are the same then tighten the axle nut back up, making sure not to throw the wheel out of alignment as you do this, the best way is to put the spanner onto the nut at about 135 degrees from horizontal and only push down to horizontal (theres a thread about this somwhere if you do a search, i posted some diagrams i threw together) if you apply foreward/backward pressure to the axle it will push it out of allignment.

Check the back plate on the swingarm ends to see if theres any movement, if there is it has moved while you tightened it, i usually find the right one gets a bit slack so you have to keep checking-tightening-checking-tightening etc. once the axle nut gets to a certain tightness your ok to just nip it up, don't worry about torque settings here, it's all stainless steel so you wont break it, do it as tight as you can with the provided tool (just a note, that peice of tube in your toolkit that is squashed on one end is to fit onto the end of the axle nut spanner for more leverage).

Afterwards you can check your wheel alignments by using a straight length of something (wood/metal/anything) and placing along the side of your tire, contacting at both the front and rear of the tire just under the brake rotor or sprocket depending on which side. kneel down and look along the length of metal/wood/anything and refer it to the bottom of your forks (with the forks straight) do this on both sides and if it looks the same then your ok. The reason for doing this is that the alignment marks can be unreliable and even if they appear to be in the same place it can sometimes be quite a bit off.

Dont forget, once the axle nut is tightened just nip up the adjuster bolt so the back plate is tightly held and apply the locknut, then check the adjuster marks again to make sure it's all AOK. Hope you get what i mean by all this, it sounds complicated but is actually dead simple, this is how i do it but everyone will have their own way, and your bound to get some cocky fucker who will say either use the search function or read the fucking manual!
