The best stands (IMO) are Abba stands or the NWS stands (which are a similar thing). Instead of lifting the bike off the ground by the swingarm, they attach at the swingarm pivot point, and get the whole wheel off the ground like that
Means much better access and easier to work with, IMO. I think the rear axle torque for the nut is 100 Nm, but dont take that as gospel. Matt |

You should adjust the chain tension on the side stand not on a paddock stand.
Procedure for doing the chain tension is in the owners manual if you have one. Basically undo the wheel nut, then use an allen key to undo or do up ( depending on which way you want the back wheel to move ) the allen head bolts on the end of the swingarm. IIRC the chain tension should be 25mm - 35mm but there shoudl be a label on the swingarm the tells you what to set the tension to as I cant remember.

Oh yea, dont trust the marks on the swingarm for wheel alignment - they are often not accurate. My dad told me to do a set turn on each allen key adjuster - one flat edge at a time

For a curvy it's 65 for the rear axle in the good old haynes. Chain should be 25-35mm on the side stand and make sure it's lubed up!
