In those photos above you've got the bike on the paddock stand. You need to check the slack when its off the stand and ideally when your sat on it. This is where you need a mate! Or you can put it on the side stand and lean over the bike from the other side placing your weight over the seat - checking the slack while the blood goes to your head!
You need to do this so the suspension is in play. That slack will be partially taken up when you remove it from the paddock stand.
Just a question for other thread readers. I've been playing with the tensioners to try and get the chain running evenly either side over the sprocket teeth. Anybody else bother much with this?

Thanks
Will get that done, did it with the side stand on but no weight on the bike, I'll have another go at it tomorrow.
