Strange, if anything it should be super loose on the stand. Still a good looking bike!Yea she looks tight when on the stand but it's within spec.

So you're saying to run the fuel vent tube to the steering stem at the frame and remove the plug thats in there in order to run the vent tube into the frame alternatively?Also just a bit of XCW knowledge I learned the hard way. Look into removing the fuel vent from the steering tube. All XCWs that I have seen have a hole in the steering tube because some euro versions have a steering lock. If you have a cast triple clamp then chances are your steering tube has a hole in it near the bottom clamp. Fuel will wash the lower bearing clean, all the grease and gas residue will be on the front fender. There is a little plastic insert that will pop into one of the small holes in the frame near the steering stem. It comes on the KTM Sx models but I can get the part number if you have a problem finding it
Excuse the heck out of the dirty bike, but I wouldn’t run my chain any tighter than this. This is up on the stand with the rear wheel off the ground.
I wouldn’t worry about appeasing us, we all just don’t want you to run into problems that would be preventable. Trust me, I would much rather read posts about you ripping up the trails than working on the motor.LOL, I am going to adjust it to appease the masses here.
