When adjusting the chain I disconnect the suspension unit so that I can easily move the swinging arm to the position where the centres of the geabox output shaft, swinging arm pivot and rear wheel spindle centre are all in line. If the chain tension is then set and checked by running the chain round to check for any tight spots the chain can never become too tight whatever your weight or choice of suspension components. It is a pain to disconnect the suspension unit to do this but if you have a correctly adjusted chain and run a chain oiler the chain doesn't need attention very often.

Agreed, Eddy. Do the shock-disconnect once, then just measure the clearance at a given point and return the chain to that if it needs subsequent adjustment. Plus one on the oiler benefits...
