You can see the right hand side of the teeth are worn right down. I've seen worse but mine are bad enough!

Center stand is perfect because there is no weight on the rear wheel. Regardless of the position of forks or rear spring preload, adjust the chain slack according the specified range of 40-55 mm

Agreed the bike should be on a center stand wih the weight off of the rear wheel when adjusting the chain as it says in the manual, this eliminates any variation from fuel weight or tyre wear.

R and X chain slack should be 40.0 ~ 55.0 mm (1.57 ~ 2.17 in) according to the manual
