Tightening the chain?

[ShanMan14]

Can this be done without getting the bike in a stand? My chain needs adjusting and I no longer have my Pit Bull.

I believe so, in fact my service manual recommends that final adjustments are made using only the kick stand.

I bought kerosene and a good metal ruler this morning, hopefully I can get all of this figured out tomorrow.

yes, chain adjustment can be done on the side stand.
and as stated, measurements should be taken while it is on the side stand.
