Stick it on a paddock stand find any tight spot mark at 90 degrees on the tyre or wheel

(its a bit difficult to explain but make the mark at the bottom of the wheel/tyre in a direct line with the axle)

drop the bike back down and line the mark up again and sit on the bike then check the slack it should 25mm or thereabouts if not adjust it on the sidestand .

there is no point checking the slack if your not on the bike because the slack is only important when your riding the bike .
if you adjust it when not on the bike you will make it too tight !!
