The correct way to adjust the chain is to align the centers of the countershaft sprocket, swing arm pivot bolt, and rear axle, then adjust the chain to 10 to 20 mm free play. This may require providing a beer or two to your big fat neighbor in exchange for him/her sitting on your bike, or removing the bolt from the top or bottom of the shock, or using a strap through the wheel and over the seat. The third option only works on bikes with nothing in the way of the strap, and a sturdy seat.
