Just make sure you are adjusting it properly. Do not tighten it. Adjust it. If you will notice as the suspension compresses, the chain gets tighter as the swing arm gets level with the counter shaft sprocket. There are tons of videos and websites to give proper ways of doing it. I personally use straps to pull the suspension down to where the chain shows the least slack. I then adjust to about 1/2 inch movement up and down. I have to do this because I put on a longer shock and I cannot go by the factory recommendations. Your manual should tell you the specific up and down movement of the chain with the suspension fully extended. That means on a stand or with the kickstand down and shock fully extended.
