tight chain...loose chain...tight chain ... Renew chain!

Your chain has done it's service and it's time to get a new one and at the same time new sprockets.

The reason it varies is that some of the o-rings are worn and the grease inside these links has vanished. That causes wear at theese links, while other who still has intact o-rings don't wear as much.

It can be dangerous to drive with a chain like that. It can snap, and with some bad luck lock up the rear wheel, or cause severe damage to the engine.
