it is adjusted within spec....on the top of the rear sproket the chain is tight and the bottom too, now the 3oclock position there is slack i`d say about 10mm of slack, does this sound ok?...its a non o-ring chain and is quite noisy but looks to be in good shape, is the slack and noise ok?

One of the easiest ways I found to check a chain is to take it off and lay it on the garage floor with the rollers facing up.Take the 2 ends and try to pull the ends in.If it bows right in it's pretty much worn out. Note: a new chain will arc slightly but it shouldn't be curving in 4,5,6 inches or more.Another way would be to pull straight on it link to link. There should be little movement or a new chain has none.Hows the sprockets? New ones have an even 'u' shape between teeth.Theside with the torque will wear in and start making the'u' into an egg shape. Some people flip rear sprockets around to double the life so to speak. I don't myself.
