If you want to get the chain adjustment really consistent and make it easier to perform then try it on the center stand. First adjust it perfectly on the side stand with the supplied gauge as instructed. Then put the bike up on the center stand and remark the gauge with a Sharpie where the new setting should be. Adjusting on the side stand doesn't seem to me to be particularly consistent due that the bike doesn't always end up with the same lean. I find it harder to do as well with the bike leaned over (but I'm old so there's that...). The center stand setting is always consistent since the rear wheel is off the ground and the shock is at full extension regardless of the preload setting. Its also easier to loosen/tighten the axle nut and make your adjustments when the bike is straight up and stable. Give it a try

I assume that the factory specifies the procedure to be done on the side stand due that the basic bike doesn't have a center stand but for those of us that do have a center stand it seems like a better way to go.
