I was doing seasonal maintenance and checked my chain slack; the R3 should be 35 to 45mm according to the manual. I measured it, and it was at like ~40mm, but I feel like it has way too much slack. Am I correct in this concern, or is this really how it's supposed to be?

I have noticed this before, but recently, after my spring oil change, I noticed it felt odd under heavy engine braking, which made me want to look into this more, just in case. Not sure how to describe the "odd" engine breaking feeling, just doesn't feel like it usually does, perhaps I'm just engine breaking more aggressively than last season? (This is my second season)

Thanks for the help!
