chain tension confusion

Hello list:
I was doing the ole post ride checkup when I thought the chain might need to
be tightened up a bit, took a ruler and checked the slack at the center point
between the countershaft and axle. it was about three inches, so I tightened
it up to what the specs say, 2-2.4 inches. I then got on the bike, and
weighted it fully and asked my dad to check the slack and low and behold, ther
e was none!
now visions of wrecked countershaft bearings started to fill my head, so I
put it back around 3" and left it.
watch out people

Congrats on the bike Glen! I use a Dowco Guardian cover in medium which
works fine without luggage but I'd probably need a large if I wanted to
leave my tailbox on when I cover it.
