Hello guys!

So I have been riding my 2008 Ninja almost daily this season..had my tires replaced a month ago. Well, my chain is pretty loose. I checked the chain..doesn't have any seized links or anything of that nature that I see. Sprockets are not hooked. Was wondering if I could just tighten the chain up and get back on the road or if once it gets loose I have to replace. The bike has 13k on it...bought it with 9k on it so I am assuming it's the factory chain. What do you guys think? The shop quoted me at $275 JUST FOR LABOR. Do not really have the funds to drop on that at the moment. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks everyone!
