Chain Slack

[JetFueler]

How much chain slack should I have on my CBR1000?

I was told 1 inch to 1.5 inches.  Is that with me on the bike or off the bike?
I'd say right now it is at 1 inch.  Fairly new chain too.  Thanks for your input.
Very much appreciated.  God bless.

mine is 1 1/4" off the bike at the middle of the bottom of the chain.

As others have said, it is usually with just the weight of the bike. Owners manual will give you the correct numbers and remember that a little loose is better than a little tight when it comes to a chain.
