Running a chain too tight is far worse than running it too loose. Some people reduce the chain slack below spec, thinking that will cut driveline lash. However the chain gets strained whenever the rear suspension compresses, stretching it prematurely. The cycle of taking up slack, stretching, and taking up slack can wreck a chain in short order.
