Reckon the same for the GY-A? Or being a hondoid would that make a big difference?

How I go about setting the chain testion on my bikes is...
i put a tie down from the axle/swing arm " where you can get it on" to the frame
somewhere above it..compress the suspension till the engine sprocket shaft / swing arm pivot / rear axle are in line... tighten the chain till there 10/15mm play in it... after you have done it a few times yer get to know.. don't need to compress the suspension any more..

with all 3 inline that is the longest point the chain needs to fit...
