There are quite a few sub-optimal things about this video. First, the chain is likely in need of replacement. When he moves the wheel you can see on the top side of the chain that the links are not aligning themselves properly. Second, a torque wrench should be used for two different reasons. The first reason is that anyone watching a video like this may be a novice, and they should not be encouraged not to torque the axle nut to the manufacturer's specification. The second reason is that V-Strom swingarms have a history of developing cracks near the axle, and excessive torque may be a factor there. Third, most folks who use the chain to keep the axle up against the adjusters while it is torqued use a soft rag or towel in between the chain and sprockets, rather than a hard tool. Also, someone suggested this guy might be from the western United States. I doubt it. He specified the chain slack in centimeters, and the accent isn't quite right.

I think in the manual it says to check the slack with the bike on the side stand. Where it would be smaller than the central stand. Also it says it's between 2 and 3 cm.

True! This is because manufactures often dont supply the bikes with centrestands. So they cant put that in their manuals. You can do it both ways :) basically the same

yes; mine doesn't have it :( but mind you it's not the same; because chain tension changes with the swing arm's travel; i guess the risk is to bottom up your back shock but not on the shock but on the chain not being able to give in more;

I'd rather have it on the loose side, 3-4cm, long travel suspension on the vstrom, if you are heavy or 2 up fully loaded I wouldn't like the chain to be too tight, puts too much stress on the output shaft.

Is 2-3cm with the rider on the bike? I'm abit worried with that much slack as when I sit on mine the rear shock compresses quite abit

IIRC the bike should be on the side stand when you measure the slack, otherwise the chain might end up too tight, which is worse than too loose. And if you have a torque wrench handy you should check the axle nut torque -- 100 N-m.

Peter Beens thanks for the comment! I find it easier to do it on the centre stand. I take in account to leave a little slack extra. but like all the bike maintenance. keep a close eye on your owner manual or service manual ;)

I think what Peter is saying is that with weight on the rear wheel you can see the true chain slack but if you use a center stand it may stretch a little more after you put weight on the rear wheel

regardless of bike the the swing arm should be in line with the rear axle & the swing arm pivot point and the drive sprocket centre shaft (that is normally hidden under a cover.) if you do it any other way you will over tighten the chain !

Surely you didn't let the chain go that slack before deciding to adjust it. That's a good way to destroy your cogs as well.

judging by how much you had to pull the wheel back, that chain needs to be replaced. But since this video is almost 3 years old, I am pretty sure that chain is gone by now :)

great effort sir but... ...chains on DL650's are adjusted on side stand, not centre stand. The measurement will be incorrect using the centre stand and be too tight. ...a chain that is is too loose is better than a chain that is too tight, obviously correct tension is better all round. NB sorry I see this has been mention before
