Absolutely.
The amount of fuel in the tank (particularly on the Z) can have a big influence on the angle/position the bike sits on the side stand too. Add to that tyre wear, tyre pressure and what Macca has mentioned and there's quite a bit of ambiguity.
Just remember, the guide in the manual is only ever going to give an approximate setting - the side stand is a variable factor. A centre stand however is a constant.
I wouldn't advocate dropping the dog bones every chain adjustment, just once (or every now and again) as a reference point.
