I'm adjusting the chain on my blaster for the first time. I've searched this forum and come up with several different answers to chain slack. Right now I have a half inch when sitting on the bike. I can pull the chain up half inch and that is it. It seems to tight to be correct. The manual says 1 to 1.5 inch slack. I'm guessing that is unladen. Any help would be appreciated. The chain was very loose to begin with. Thanks in advance.:-/
