Never had a problem using a rear stand without spools. Getting the arm width right the 1st time took a couple minutes, 3 max. After that...



I can prolly pop the stand under her before you find a 2x4 to whack under it (unless you keep one specifically for that purpose).

 

Maybe it was just me, or maybe I had a really useless stand, but I could just never get those pads to work properly! Once I did finally get the width right, I'd have to try a few places on the swingarm to get the depth right. The next time I used it, it seemed like I had to go through it all again. I keep a 2x4 in the tool shed right next to the chain lube and other tools/chemicals. Saves a bit of storage space and it can be used for other things as well! Also, it is MUCH cheaper! I honestly wouldn't take a free rear stand.

It would be great to have one of these though:

Vortex Front Race Stand - Street Bike - Motorcycle Superstore

But my jack works fine, and I already had that laying around anyway:

 

Doesn't setting the chain slack on a aux stand change when you remove the stand as there is no weight on the rear suspension.

 

It'll tighten up a little when you drop the wheel back on the floor. Keep that in consideration when adjusting it with a rear wheel stand and you'll be fine. Double check slack once the stand is removed and there's weight on the wheel.

 

Just make sure that the axle is contacting both adjusters after tightening the axle nut. I use the same method as on my dirt bike by putting a small spanner on the top side of the rear sprocket and turn the back wheel so it jams itself between the chain and sprocket. This is an old method but works to pull the axle back into place while tightening the axle nut. Oh, only worth doing if you've got both side chain adjustment marks/increments evenly matched or you'll prematurely wear your chain against the rear sprocket. You'll know if you get it wrong cause one side (usually the right side) won't have any load on it(the adjuster) and rattle(rattle if really out of alignment but still able to move if done incorrectly) around by hand if you try and move it by hand. Hope my explanation makes any sense.

 

Found a pic on the inna net. Screwdriver probably better and less chance of damaging sprocket.
