Post #56 is clueless, add #57 too. Look at the design:
Kawi = I place a door jam under the door, it goes nowhere.
Honda = I place a hoop around the axle and stop it from sliding forward.
Axle torque = Are you kidding me? Are you serious? That chain pulling that axle forward and it's the bolt in front of it, or the hoop around it. That position holds the axle from moving forward. You would not last one holeshot out of the gate if those were not there, period! One reason why those extenders buckled. That axle was moving every leave if not every tooth it's jacking that axle forward.
Axle loose as a goose = Now, remove the hoop or bolt in front, sure that axle slides forward. Install a bolt or hoop so the same axle movement is stopped and is that axle going anywhere with a loose nut? The Fuck NO!
How stu pit does #56 look like now? Want me to pick another post [#57] and listen to the logic if axle movement vs. No it doesn't move?! Your CHAIN IS DRY AS IN TOO DRY!!! 'The axle has rights.' How much out of whack is the axle? A half a turn on the adjuster? A full turn? If you do not think that chain lines up and slams the tooth squared, flex the chain sideways and look at the bow of that flex. If you think the arch's reach; the roller moving sideways; the plates have no place to go but line up around the sprocket statically, show me the axle that far forward, the other side [of the axle] is more to the rear, your chain has to ride off one side of the roller it's not about to happen or you'd be steering the front end and always correcting, because the rear wheel is moving in a straight line and the front end is cocked to the axle's plane or running square down the road is the rear only, yes?
The chain is too sloppy [to begin with] and takes up that kink of a turn at the screw. So bottom line, is a plate kinked at the back? Is the sprocket dead center down the swing arm? Is the axle's horizontal position even at both sides? Where is that link sitting? Where is the roller sitting? Before I torque the axle I am stepping on or loading the lower chain rung. Why? Loosen the axle; pull the rear wheel back so the adjuster bolts are no longer touching the axle, meaning. Slam your foot down on the bottom rung, watch the axle slam into the adjusters. If the adjust bolts do not move, here is where both have nowhere to go, now tighten the axle nut.
Preload the adjuster bolts into the axle. That's why that guy safety wires his adj bolts. Snugged them, not threw a bite into it. They back out, too loose an axle torque.
