That is a sign - pay attention when you need to do things frequently .. something is about to go.
Any chain will ware .. once worn to a certain extent it should be replaced ..
On my DR650 if the rear wheel is adjusted 2 full marks backwards from having a new chain then it is at the limit of that chains ware .. there are many more marks available .. but the chain itself has reached its life according to the manufactures ware limit. After that you are on borrowed time .. and because the chain is worn it will are the sprockets faster too..
KevOK .. I'd be looking for a new front sprocket ... just in case.
