sounds like the carrier needs new bearings

carrier has pretty new bearings in it but if the swinger needs new ones would it keep loosening the chain like that?

Sometimes the two bolst on the back of the swingers on the 03's that adjust and hold the chain tension have a tendacy to pull out of the carrier when under acceleration force. That enables the bearing carrier to be pulled foward no matter how tight the 4 pinch bolts are, I even believe suzuki did some warranty issues on this also.
