FAZMAN is correct! The printed manual most of us received with our bikes is the first edition, which apparently did not include the separate chain spec for the Street Triple. The second edition, dated April 2008, carries this information:

Chain Free-Movement Adjustment
For Daytona 675, the vertical movement of the drive chain must be in the range 35 - 40 mm.
For Street Triple, the vertical movement of the drive chain must be in the range 20 - 25 mm.

Thanks, FAZ, for bringing this to our attention! This information will save needless wear on countless chains, sprockets, and swing arms.
I think it also explains a lot of the concerns folks have had with throttle free play, which by rights ought to have been a lesser issue on the Street than the Daytona, with its hotter engine. Turns out it's actually because most of us Streetsters have been running with too much chain slack all along!
I believe I will change the title of this thread and make it a sticky for a few weeks so everyone will have a chance to notice it upon their next visit here.
