The chain has the longest path - that is the tightest when the 2 sprockets
and swingarm pivot are in straight line.
When the swingarm swings either up or down from this position it loosens the
chain because the path is shorter but only minimally ..The more omportant
thing if adjusting an older chain is to find the tightest spot first before
making an adjustment or you'll have a chain that vibrates as rotates to the
location where it is overtight...
