If you knew what the chain slack specification was supposed to be with the rider on the bike, I would agree with you that using the rider might allow the chain to be set to be at a better tension throughout the range of the suspension's travel.

But the specifications for chain slack are given, at least in my shop manual, for the case without the rider on there. So if you set the slack to that same specification with the rider on the bike it would be wayyyyy off.
