I’ve checked the tire and rear wheel bearing. Haven’t checked the swing arm bearings by jacking the frame up I will definitely give that a try thank you.
Did you replace the sprockets too? New chain on worn sprockets can actually slip.
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.
