Chains, Chains..

Hi Forum,

I'm having some chain slackening happening with my Gio ATVs. My 50cc today when I loaded it up was so loose it was hanging on the swingarm. It only has 6 hours riding on it and was tight before last use.

The 110cc I have tightened twice already and has about 10 hours use.

Is this normal new chain stretching, crap chinese made chain, or some other underlying problem?

I do know there is supposed to be some chain deflection, and occaisional tightening is required, but I guess the degree of the loosening and the frequency is raising my question.

Thanks for the coming help as always.
