One thousand, two hundred and seventy one miles. 
I moved the adjusters .036" (.91mm)

Twice over 11000km

Twice in 5000km

Twice in 8700 miles.

Once in 2000kms

Once in 3000k's

It depends on your riding style. My one's very smooth and on road, so I'm adjusting it for the first time at 10,000 km. I know my usage isn't average, not only for conservative riding style but because I ride on A and B roads, very little motorways, no town where the chain gets stretched more easily. 

Once in 400 k's.

Quick questiln to you, good people: adjusted my chain and the manual says there should be no space between the adjusting blocks. 
 

As you can see on the pic below, theres no clearance, but the bolt itself is slightly tilted to the left. Is this okay? Many thanks for the help 🙂
