as said lube the chain and also make sure the Rear sproket and the front sproket are inline. check this by standing directly behind the chain at eye level and casting you eye along the top of the chain. if it looks straight all good and well if it looks like its turning right you need to move the off side "Right"chain ajuster towards the rear of the bike untill it looks straight.

then check the tension on the chain as it will go slack or tight be sure to check this.

and then vice versa if it looks like its turning left.

don't rely on the grooves or notches where the ajusters are they not accurate enough always use the good old eye...
