because i have done 11,000 + kms and the setting of chain tighten is been finished.
Chain tightening every 1000 kms is fine though it indicates that you're not all that smooth with gear changes and when going on/off throttle.

11000 kms doesn't necessarily mean you need to change your bike's chain set but since your chain is at the limit of its adjustability range, it is time for you to change it. Just make sure you change both the sprockets too when you change the chain. And try and be smooth with your throttle inputs. That and regular lubrication of the chain will increase its life by a good margin.
