chain noise?

Not sure why the stock markings are crapola. Maybe they are, but I used them recently and mine seems to be aligned ok. No whining noises for me. I know, this email doesn't help anybody.

measurement to something farther away (like the swingarm mount holes)
because of interference from my pipe. The string method ? I swear it
requires 2 people (since I don't have octopus arms)?
