No worries.
The only way the chain slack would be the same, regardless of swing arm position, would be if the pivot point was on top of the front sprocket. Which would be difficult!
As such, the chain slack will change with the swing arm position. See below image:

Not by much granted, and it only really affects bikes with bigger distances between swingarm pivot and the chain. not sure what the maths is for for fazer.
