uneven chain tightness

the yam service manual suggests 30-40m of slack is appropriate. your chain , on this basis, is dangerously over adjusted to the point where it is "too tight", may cause wear in the drive mechanisms, snap the chain, wrap around your wheel and stop the bike ! not something one would want to occur at speed I would imagine - perhaps the more sporty risky lads would find this exciting - I wouldnt.
