2023 hawk dlx
I recently purchased A 2023 hawk dlx assembled from tx motorsports. they delivered it and i removed most of the bolts and added lock tight,changed the oil to Rotella t4 and debadged it. I have rode it a little over 50 miles and have loved everything about it. I went to check my chain before I rode to work this morning and noticed it had about a inch to much play. Can i adjust the chain on the side-stand? i see everyone jacking it up with the rear tire off the ground. planning on adjusting the chain and changing the oil and putting in the NGK iridium spark plug this weekend.

Yes you can. Having the rear wheel off the ground just makes it a bit easier

This guy's video really helped me with chain adjustment. The stock chain has been notoriously crappy, so you will probably want to get a better chain.
When adjusting on the kickstand, I go for the top-side of the range. On a carbed Hawk 250, it's 20mm-30mm, so I go for 30mm or just a tad over.
