Chain Tight

My chain was adjusted all the way out and was still to loose so I cut a link out and adjusted it all the way in and I can get it on but its pretty tight. I had to take the bottom roller off to get it on. My question is what bad things can happen with your chain to tight? Should I just break down and buy a new chain, I'm kind of tired of throwing money at it right now if I can get by without it.

How tight is it exactly and yeah thats really not good ive herd of peoples swing arms almost twisting, and that chain wont last long either

 

 

It's probly got 1/2" of play in it 1/4" each way, Its tight enough the bottom roller won't go back on. I was thinking about maybe going on an easy ride and see if it'll stretch out a little. If I replace the chain should I get new sprockets also, the manual says you should but is it really necessary, none of the teeth are broke.
