Dunno why I haven't commented on this video before but this video helped years ago when learning how to adjust the tension on my bike. Years later and I'm still doing it just this way and can get it done in a matter of minutes. Thank you.

@sloppify make your sprockets level with each other by using s strap to keep the shock compressed in the air

Great Vid. Will come in handy on my SP2. What is that on your Gear selector? Looks like a Damper of some kind??
-
I have a center stand on my bike and I adjust the chain to where I want it, but once I put the rear tire back on the ground, the chain is super tight. What am I doing wrong?

yea but the angle that the bikes sets is diff so the rear spring will be slightly less compressed but should make a huge difference

I safely say from exp, there is no difference. For my street bike, or for my 200+ hp superbike ive adjusted the rear without the front stand, and never had a runout or problem with mis-tension.

todddhel - You are correct, but the bike is on a rear stand, thus the same as being on the ground. It has all its force on the swingarm , like the tyre when its on the ground. IE you have static sag.
The pin punch, was about 10mm. You can use the side of a ring spanner or a dead AA battery, anything that will bind the chain up.
Evil, Cant find it, soon as i do ill post it.

Best chain adjusting video so far. Just did up my chain and spun it through while feeling with my hand and there's sections where there is lots of slack and others really tight. This mean the chain has worn unevenly, anything I can do?

Sadly not much. Your chain has what is known as frozen links, and they will get worse.
You can try and clean the chain with kerosine, throughly hose it down with water and then re-apply your favourite chain lube .. that cleans out and around the o-rings, but sometimes its not much gain.
Thanks for the reply !
