Can do. I would imagine, don't hold me to it, it depends on the distance between engine sprocket and swinging arm pivot.
The bigger that, the bigger the difference in slack.
I only know of the BMW G series that has its engine sprocket in line with the swinging arm, so there is no stretch, only wear.
