Can do it all on the side stand if needed, including adjusting the chain. Oil drains well enough on the side stand and you can sit on the bike and keep it upright if you need to anyway. I change the filter each service, I noticed that if I have the bike on the centre stand I don't get all the oil out when I have the filter off. So I drain on the centre stand with the filter removed, then put it on the side stand and I get some more oil out. Only real trouble is getting the oil filled to the right level, bit tricky if you can't keep the bike upright easily, but completely doable though. The only thing that I can think of that will be a PITA is removing the wheels without a centre/paddock stand.
