well what are your reasons for thinking its loose? I thought mine was "loose" but my LBS told me thats actually what it was supposed to feel like...so I would take it to an LBS for hands on tips before you go taking out links and causing yourself some headaches...im sure they wont charge you for an opinion :)

Are you referring to a single or multi-speed setup?

Its a 21 speed bike. When i bunnyhop it sometimes shifts by itself, i adjusted it myself but its kind of jumpy.

It's not loose, you need to tune the rear derailleur.
