Those chains do stretch a lot breaking them in. I don't think this is your problem but it might be. You should never run a tight chain it will trash your chain and sprockets right quick. Post some pics if you can.

If your chian is still set up as it is in that picture, you can solve the problem by removing 2 or 3 links. Your tensioner is set up to its max, and the chain is still loose. The only way to fix it is to remove a few links in the chain and readjust the tensioner. that should solve all of your problems.

Pull the chain off the tensioner and collect the slack on the chain ring opposite the rear tire. Basicly fit the chain on the bottom of the chain ring nicely on the teeth. Then putt the slack to the top of the chain ring and fit it so the chain is tight enough. You will be able to see how many links to remove and how tight/loose the chain will be.

Yup, it should work out if you just remove a few links. After a few weeks of riding, the chain will stretch a bit. All you will have to do is adjust the tensioner and it should solve the problem.

easiest solution is.. your chains probebly getting warn in to your bike and stretching so jus take out a link or two.
