what i learned is this.You can see the position of the chain gear suport arm.How far does it extend..that will tell you if the chain is streched.
Or back in the days we looked at the bend of the chain ,clean the old one and compare the bend to the new chain.Holding it in the air not on table.

I saved these two ,some genius welded extra space on the arms..the chain were streched and the arm on left was already hitting the chain housing.
