bloody hell it does. But I get the impression it says that just to ensure the bike is supported properly

Re: Why do some people say you should only adjust your chain whilst on side stand?
I dont think it matters that much as long as the wheel is straight and there is enough slack.Thats why they say to leave 3 cm,so it doesnt run tight whatever wieght is on the bike.

Re: Why do some people say you should only adjust your chain whilst on side stand?
I can't see how it can really make the slightest bit of difference as long as you neither make the chain rediculously tight or leave it dangling about like a wizard's sleeve. I've adjusted mine both on the side stand and on a paddock stand depending on what's available at the time and I've not died once because I didn't do it in a particular manner.

My chain went way too tight adjusting it on a paddock stand.

Just ride the bike and don't worry about it - my chain only gets adjusted when I get new tyres (about once a year). Never had any problems.
