Starting to wonder if maybe I'm being paranoid about this for some reason. Maybe I need to measure the slack better. This thread is a small sample size but I'm the only one so far that has had this issue, might just be user error. I'm going to measure / adjust this weekend and really make sure I'm not missing anything. Although every situation is different, it seems like I may not be as close to needing a new chain as I thought.
This might not be the best thing, but I haven't been using my torque wrench on the axle nut because I have to remove my exhaust to fit it in there. I was pretty positive I was tightening it enough because it's still very tight when I go to loosen it but I'll probably go ahead and use it this time. Who knows, maybe I'm not getting the axle tight enough and it's slipped forward very slightly. It doesn't take much movement to change the chain's slack.
