Es más difícil hacerlo con las llantas en el suelo. Puedes usar el caballete central y dejar 5mm más de juego libre a la cadena, eso compensa la medida cuando las llantas pisan el suelo. Y se gira más fácil el engrane de ajuste con la rueda elevada.
As another comment has already said, use a torque wrench to achieve the correct tightening torque of the clamp bolt as you have no idea just how tight the bolt is. What you think is "nice and snug" may well be too loose to stop the hub turning during a ride and losing your chain tension with the potential of losing the chain if its too loose which doesnt bare thinking about at motorway speeds. By the same token, you could well over-tighten the bolt, stripping the thread and necessitating an expensive repair or even replacement of the swing arm. The correct torque for the hub clamp bolt is 55N/m (40.5 Lbs/Ft) of torque for all single sided swingarm models which is much more than you might think and certainly more than "nice and snug"!
Excuse the dumb question but how did you fit the paddock stand bobbins as I thought you had to buy single sided swingarm stand! ... new to this bike,cheers

You need to have the back wheel 'on' the ground to depress the suspension to closer replicate the riding condition. If you do it on the centre stand then the suspension is extended and the tension chain tension changes when the bike is then taken off the centre stand. See Triumph's own recommendation for adjusting chain tension.
Thanks for the DIY brother!
Superb, well explained, thank you 🏆🍻
Thank you SO much sir!! 😊👍
You should perhaps invest in a torque wrench rather than relying on “nice and snug”
Useful video for newbies 👍

Thanks, i just got a 2011 Sprint 1050 GT and need to replace the chain, I had not thought about the torque specs.

Mi motocicleta no tiene esa llave tipo C. Para comprar la indicada que medida es?
Can't find the extended wrench you have can you put a link ? Would really appreciate it.

Thank you I found it but they don't ship to USA. Thanks for getting back to me.
You need to have it on the centre stand mate to get a more accurate adjustment.

You are definetely right about this matter.
Play a tune on that chain 😂
