Hello, all: Has anyone got the slack measurement for a '12 T-100 when it's on the centerstand? 20-30mm on the sidestand, I know, but so much easier to adjust and align (I use the 2 straight edge method) with it off the ground.
Thanks in advance: Jim
 
Okay, all: Here's how it works out, as best I can tell with my aching back, etc. The chain measured 30mm on the sidestand and 40mm on the centerstand. I like to run my chain a bit looser than tighter, so that's where I'm leaving it for now.

Hope this helps anyone with a centerstand: Jim
 
Yes i like to have a bit of slack in my chain as well on the adjustment side of things it depends on travel of suspension and hight of front sprocket , if the front sprocket is in line with swing arm when the swing arm is level then that is the tightest point .
if the engine is mounted higher in the frame the tight spot will be when the suspension is at the top ( on side stand ) , if the engine is mounted low in the frame then the tight spot will be when the suspension is bottomed out .
