Uh...what is your idea of loose? There should be about an inch of play WITH THE RIDER ON IT in the chain just around the midpoint in the distance between the rear axle and the pivot for the swingarm. Is it looser than that?

Sounds like either the axle nut isnt tight enough, or the adjusters are missing a bolt, or are stripped out...

I,ve found that when I put a new chain and sprockets on, the chain stretches for a bit and needs constant adjustment for about 500 to 600 miles.Then it'll settle down and only need adjusting periodically.Toward the end of it's life,it'll need adjusting olmost every ride.How many miles have you got up since you fitted the new gear? I run my chain slightly on the tight side , for no other reason than the bike seems to like it like that.At the "proper" tension , gear changes are a bit notchy and I have trouble finding neutral.I typically change chain and sprockets at about 12,000 + miles.Cheers,Simon.
