I just installed my new chain and need to adjust the tension. It's currently on the stand but I was told to adjust the swingarm while the bike is holding it's own weight.. Can anyone confirm whether I need to take it off the rear stand and hold the bike up while adjusting the chain tension and if so, what is the point of this? I don't see how it will affect it because the axle won't be moving Up and down, nor will the wheel..??
Also I've done the front sprocket nut up as tight as it was before I loosened it. I can't tighten it anymore without the front sprocket moving (the bike is in gear). This should be tight enough, right? Also with the rear wheel axle nut should I just put it on as tight as I can?
After I put it back together I'll take it round the block and then check everything is OK and then check everything again after another short ride.
Cheers
