Tension? At middle static ride-height, chain is most loose, then it tightens up as suspension compresses or extends from there.

When you've got bike suspended, and swingarm fully extended, re-check the chain-tension.

How heavy are you? It's very possible you're bottoming shock as JRshooter suggests. Stock shock is very soft and with age, damping levels decrease as well.
That was my next question...
