Did you adjust the chain at its tightest spot? You need to roll the bike forward until you find the spot where the chain is tightest - then make your adjustment. All chain/sprocket setups have a tight spot and this is where adjustment must be made. If you set it up at a loose spot the chain could be very (too) tight in other areas. Maybe it is rubbing on the plastic protector on the swingarm?
