Until you are real familiar with a particular bike, it is always best to go by the book. I measure on the side stand and adjust on the center stand. I have found that the measurement on the center stand for my '03 T-100 is only about 1/8" looser than the measurement on the side stand. I like to run my chain at 1.25" slack, so I set it on the center stand at a little more than 1.25" and it is about where I want it when I measure it on the side stand. The last time I took it to the dealer for maintenance, the mechanic set the chain slack at 3/4"--this is the last time that mechanic touches my bike!
