In this video I show how to check your chain slack and, if necessary, adjust it on a 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX. This will be the same process for 2020-2023 models and possibly others as well. This is an important part of your motorcycle maintenance and should be done at least every 600 miles or once a week, though slack should be checked before every ride.
