The quickest easiest and simplest way of checking the slack on the FZS600 chain is as follows:
Rotate the rear wheel to find the tightest part of the chain.
Now push the chain up to just touch the rubber swinging arm protector.
If you cannot just touch the swinging arm protector with the chain, adjust it until you can.

That is exactly the way I do it you end up with about 40 mm at the tightest point of the chain, it might seem a lot but my understanding is that as the rear suspension compresses the chain tightens by that action.

It's strange that so many bikers don't know the correct way of checking and adjusting a chain , I met a guy a few years ago that was struggling to adjust his chain using the adjusters going red in the face with effort  until I pointed out he had to loosen the rear axle first  :lol
Also the trouble with torquing nuts/axles is you've got to have a torque wrench and so many people seem to think the " yeah that's tight enough" approach is ok , I mean the manufacturers put those numbers in the manual for fun don't they
