RE: chain tenshion?? and a few questions?
First off welcome the forum and congrats on the bike.
1.I usually use a measuring tape and allow 1 inch of travel
2. I never checked the torque specks on that, I allways just snug it up by hand pretty good Nothing over 25 ft lbs.
3. As for a factory sprocket you will most likley pay to much, unless you can find one on ebay. Me personally would just get a aftermarket one.
Hope this helps, if not someone ealse will....

1.) Lift the rear tire off of the ground and pull down on the chain with about 10-15 lbs of pressure at about the center of the lower part of the chain. Put a tape measure at the bottom of the chain at this point and then without moving the tape measure, push the chain up as high as it will go and measure at the bottom of the upper chain. The difference between the two measurements should be no more than 1", I beleive the actual measurement is 15/16".
2.) There is no torque setting on the oil drain plug. It is a plumbing type bolt that will stop at the end of the threads and you just snug it on. The washer will take care of the rest. Do not use a torque wrench on it or you may strip the threads from the pan.
3.) Buy aftermarket sprockets, RENTHAL makes a real good product. I believe a decent set will put you back about $80
