Correct answer
Inspect it and adjust slack according to the manufacturer’s manual.
Have it inspected and adjusted using the procedure and slack specified for that model, along with the prescribed cleaning and lubrication. The chain requires some slack: do not tighten it until all slack disappears. There is no universal 20–30 mm value for every motorcycle. Also check wear and variations in tension; consult a workshop if you lack the necessary skills or tools. Do not adjust or clean the chain with the engine running.
