Chain Adjustment

Trying to figure out how to adjust the chain. I just ordered a rear axel slider kit so I can use my pitbull swing arm stand. Not sure what to do from there. I read the manual but the directions were not great.

just need to do it on the side-stand. 30mm-33mm from the metal swingarm to the chain center. loosen 2 - 14mm pinch bolts & rotate the chainguard back until you get the proper tension. IIRC, the pinch bolt TQ is 31nm

Is the info on the chain tension label correct?

video on adjusting the chain? not much to it.
push up in the chain & release.
measure.
if you need to tighten the chain, undo the 14mm bolts and rotate the rear chain guard to the rear (clockwise) to tighten the chain.
