First oil change and chain adjustment on Yamaha MT-07: torque and chain slack guidan

[Aaron.G]

I'm a new rider with a used Yamaha MT-07, and I'm trying to learn basic motorcycle maintenance to save money and understand my bike better. I'm about to tackle my first oil change and chain adjustment this weekend, but I'm a bit nervous about getting the torque specs right on the drain plug and ensuring the chain slack is perfect. The owner's manual is a bit vague, and I'd appreciate any practical tips or common mistakes to avoid for a first-timer working on this specific model.
