    I'd suggest that it would. If you were given a number, you'd get it
    wrong. How's that?

    I am sure if you wrote it down here I could print it off and take it out to
    the bike and get it right. Please.

    The year of the bike is irrelevant. Every bike (with, admittedly, a
    few notable single-sided exceptions) is the same: tight. Tight enough
    to produce a grunt as you lean on the socket-driving bar, perhaps two
    grunts if it is a short bar, and maybe even a small fart if you are
    that way inclined.

    FFT = Fairly Fucking Tight.

    Sage advice. If you have to adjust your chain tension at the side of the
    road [1] it is unlikely that you will have a torque wrench handy.

    [1] Not perhaps a frequent occurrence on a GN125, admittedly.

    If you're doing it at the side of the road, with the standard bike
    toolkit, there's likely to be a squeak of pain just before the
    (somewhat earlier) fart as the narrow extension bar bites into your
    plam - sometimes a full-on howl as your foot slips off said narrow
    extension and your shin scrapes down the end of the bastard thing.
    Fairly Fair Comment.

  13. OK farting and grunting it is then, thanks all.
