Be careful tightening your MT-10 rear axle up to factory specs on a paddock stand. You can easily pull it off the pickups resulting in a very expensive chain adjustment
You must not remove the cover from the front proket. Also my Yamaha mechanic say the had a training and 190NM is to much for rear axle nut, should be max 140-150NM.
Stranger still LightTech warns not to go over something like 120NM if I recall right otherwise you will break your new $300 adjuster and they claim it never needs to be so tight to begin with? I wonder if the whole reason Yamaha wants it ultra tight is so the wheel cant possible ever move? (Liability fear if the chain then broke and locks the rear up??) But with a quality captive adjuster (rather than free to move stock junk blocks) then it cant move anyway....I mean unless it broke I am thinking Gilles AXB Black Chain Adjusters Axle Blocks
Thank you very much sir, tis is what you call a proper chain adjustment video!!!
Thanks I hope it helped and i hope it was an informative video.
Great video! Will do this adjustment myself soon!

The service manual says 190nm though.
