    Is it a new or old chain? If its old its probably stretched and needs to be replaced. If its new, grab the top part of the chain in the middle between the 2 sprockets, and move it up and down, it should move about an inch or so. Have someone sit or hold the rear of the bike down all the way, and the chain should tighten up and have just a little bit of slack.
