My Triumph doesn't have a center stand (another thing I need to get for it) but I can jack it up under the swing arm.  I just turn the rear tire to move to a new section of chain.

I don't believe I ever did it with the engine running though.

I have, many times in the last 40 years or so, and never even looked like feeding my fingers into a sprocket. Tell you what though, after the events of a few days back, I'm never doing it again.
