I think the manual I have says 1/4 - 5/16 per 10 lbs

Is that with the wheel off the ground? And that is just in one direction correct? So total would be 1/2" to 5/8" up and down? And why for every 10 lbs? I don't understand how that makes any difference at all, kinda strange.

I dont know for sure. I would have to get the manual and see for sure. I think it is one direction with wheel on ground.

Yes, that makes sense, thanks Paul for the explanation, 10 lbs of force I understand, I though he was saying for every 10 lbs of weight on the bike, I do run mine a bit looser than the 1/4 to 5/16 measurement, I am right around 3/8"

Are you saying you have to pull the rear wheel off to change the break pads?

Yes that's what I'm saying..the caliper goes over the rotor and the pully that's why the wheel needs to come off to get to the pads
