One thing to look for is when you tighten your chain, first keep at least 1 inch free play in the center bottom or you will st reach the chain.
Center stand your bike and verify the back wheel is spinning level.
Easy gauge is to place a 2x4 next to the tire and see if it looks like the tire is wobbling. If it is the rear wheel tensioners are not level.
Adjust the rear wheel tensioners and MARK the line for reference. If the tensioners look like they moved after the chain seems loose again then it may be simply the tensioner locknuts are worn or you are not sucuring them well enough. Locktight can help this if it is the problem.
ALso as mentioned chains do wear and streach. They need to be replaced when worn.

Assuming the chain and sprockets are in good condition, approximately halfway between the front and rear sprocket the backside area of the chain ought to flow vertically between 25-40mm whilst status promptly without-one sitting on the motorcycle, regardless of if this is extra effective than that it is going to likely be adjusted till the slack is right. If there is mandatory lateral flow or the adjusters are on the decrease or any tooth are broken on the sprockets the two the sprockets and the chain ought to get replaced. The marks on the eccentric adjusters are guides in basic terms and should no longer be depended on as completely precise. to make particular the two the wheels are in the comparable direction use 2 parallel planks the two fringe of the motorcycle.

When you ride the bike the chain gets hot and it stretches. The cheaper the chain the faster it will stretch. Check it daily,keep it properly adjusted and well lubricated with a quality chain lube.
Check to see if it is kinking up and if your spocket is wore too. If so it may be time for e new chain and sprocket.

depending on how old it is ,it may be fatigued. Check to see if it has tighter and looser spots. If so it is time for a new chain.Be sure to use only a quality chain lube ,stuff like WD40 kills chains.
