Am I being paranoid?

Sorry about the last reply....the quote and response got jumbled up!! :'(


Here's my response.............



Ade assumes that when a pillion sits on the bike that the slack will be "taken up" because it seems obvious to the mind....yes? But has anyone checked it out as to be actual fact and but how much slack is it taken up?

Ade also assumed that when you make an adjustment on the centrestand and then drop it on the sidestand that the slack would be taken up there also. This is obvious too and commonsense....yes?. Not so.  There is no difference in adjusting from the centerstand and sidestand so the OP wasted his time!  :z

Hard to believe isn't it? Do it yourself. Put a mark on a link on your chain. Take a measurement on the centrestand and then from the sidestand.....no difference or any difference of any significance that would impact your riding condition!!  The obvious and common sense is blown right out of the water. So adjusting on the centrestand is quite safe.  :guitar

So, until somebody takes a measurement with and without a pillion on board, I'll keep an open mind on that one too! I like to deal in hard fact and not wild assumptions.  :uhuh
