Was a motorcycle tech for 5 years, I never did this. Just loosen and re-adjust them. Not that hard, takes a few seconds more to do the job right. Chains stretch over time, it’s a good way to ensure you’re keeping the wheel aligned and chain tensioned properly by simply making it a habit for each tire change. Not to mention you don’t have to put forward tension on the wheel before tightening the nut to ensure the axle is up against the tensioners. There’s a reason the service manuals tell you to do it this way. Honda/yamaha/kawasaki etc engineers know what they’re doing. I did it for every single customer, treated their bikes like I would my own. No point in risking someone’s life for 5 seconds saved. Not saying this method guarantees a failure, but it certainly increases the odds. I probably had 8 tire changes on average in a week, calculate that out for 5 years, if I could handle adjusting the tensioner for every one of those, I’m sure you’re fine doing it once every two to three years for the average rider

Guy isn't using a torque wrench to undo the nut, he's doing it just fine. Besides there are torque wrenches that work both ways. What I would add is to first insert the axle in the opposite side of the sprocket, so as the chain won't fight back while you try to center the wheel, spread the pads a bit with a flat blade screwdriver, grease the axle and threads/washer, and buttoning everything up, get a round pin between the chain and sprocket and turning the wheel so that it jams, that way the wheel sits good on the adjusters. Also piece of wood beneath the tire will make everything easier while trying to line everything up. Good vid 👍

The reason you should retension is because chain and sprockets don’t wear even and can have tight spots. If you remove your wheel it’s difficult to make sure it goes back in exactly the same place. So you should recheck your chain tension and if your doing that anyway you might just as well loosen them first to make your life easy.

My bike was purchased in 2014 brand new but the swing arm design is 60+ years old (it's a Royal Enfield), you just have to remove 2 bolts and away the tire goes. You can also do this by using the spark plug tool that came with it. While I was doing roadside repair of a flat tire, a motorcyclist in his brand new bike couldn't believe how and old design can make like easier that his modern bike 😂
