i believe you have your hot and cold backwards:

3. Check the primary chain tension. Push on the upper
strand on the chain to verify that it has free movement
midway between the engine compensating sprocket in
the front and the clutch sprocket in the rear.
a. With the engine cold, upward (not total) free play in
upper strand should be 5/8-7/8 in. (15.9-22.3 mm).
b. With the engine hot, upward (not total) free play in
upper strand should be 3/8-5/8 in. (9.5-15.9 mm).
