Remove, measure and replace. 30 minutes max. Where's the joke? I've owned bikes that take longer than that to replace a spark plug.
Just sourced the Gilles they look smart and we'll made....but can't see any index marks....are there anyAre you happy you have the left side lock nut and adjuster tight when you put some of the torque on the single nut?
What I mean is I would get it adjusted, tighten spindle a little then recheck adjusters are firmly in place before torquing it up the rest.
But that is in general, I got the Gilles adjusters ASAP and had no problems like this with them.
Checked those gilles out look well made but come with a "stick on" index? Poor considering their cost why haven't they been made with index on the actual metal.

My tension on picking up the bike from new was really tight imho. The MT 07 I had previously had an up to 45mm tension advice from the manual??I agree with you on both , although when I asked in local yam dealers they said that both figures were correct . I also had a wiggle at the chain on a brand new MT waiting on its new owner , chain was rediculously tight ( in my eyes ) . I adjusted my chain to 20mm , and it seems fine .
