Tensioning the chain is a lot easier if you have some rear axel stands.
You can even use regular old jack stands or you can build some yourself out of some wood scrap. There is a sticky in the general maint. section on how to do the latter.
Also, the atricle on installing a 16T front sprocket deals a bit chain adjustment. It has photos and everything. So, that might help you out. I don't know hot much experience you have with motorcycles. So, if I'm giving you unsolicited information just ignore me.
good luck,
Jonathan
