do you want to check tension by having someone sitting on the bike,or with no weight being put on the bike?

a chain that is too tight will wear out your chain really quick and it could wear out your swing arm bushings

Also a tight chain will limit your rear suspension.

also wear out your shaft bearings in the motor. crack the case, chain might snap and break stuff too.
