Correct answer
Periodically check slack and condition as specified by the manufacturer.
Periodically check chain slack and condition using the manufacturer’s procedure and limits. A chain needs specified slack: do not tension it as tightly as possible or remove all play. Clean and lubricate using products suitable for that chain type and keep lubricant away from brakes and tyres. Excessive wear, seized links or other damage may require repair or replacement; adjustment and lubrication do not resolve every fault.
