My chain continues to come loose. I can tighten the swingarm bolts to the max and it will they will still come loose again. Not really a problem, its just annoying. Any ideas?
You might have to remove the axle and carrier, clean the carrier and inside the swing arm, spray them with WD-40 and put it back together.

Ya you would have to do that. Is it that or is the chain stretching?

if the chains old it might be stretching..if not just take the carrier out and clean it up real good

last summer that was happening to me, about a week after it started happening my bearings went out in the carrier. Got a new chain and sprocket kit, along with the bearings and seals, and I have only had to re-tighten my chain once, when I put the 14t front sprocket on.
