Chain tension keeps changing?

Hi,
My 12k mile Bike is suffering from a phenomenon where the tension goes from slightly too loose to too tight. I've checked chain tension around the length of the chain and whilst there is a slight tight spot it's not significant.

It seems to be after the bike has stood for a length of time on the centre stand, push it off and the chain is very tight. Wheel it round for a bit and it's fine. Axle nut is torqed up. I have MM lowering links, though not sure if that would have an effect, though the back end is very soft. ?shock problem

Any ideas greatfully received.

Thanks
