hmm, what did your manual say? "X" amount of play and how to do it. Not playing the dick here but this will be covered in your manual. You get it too tight and not aligned will cause you nightmares also.

 

 

I wish I could give you some info on that, but I've never owned a fourwheeler. I would imagine the whole axle can be moved forward or back to set the slack. That's only a guess.

 

take some pics of the carrier and swing arm

 

 

toss the pics up here first. its easier then you think then check www.bikebandit.com for the diagram view of the rear end.

 

when you loosen the pinch bolts on the back of the swing arm, you should be able to spin the carrier, the circled part that the axle runs through and that will tighten or loosen your chain.

 

 

no problem, i thought i had some pics that show a better idea of a honda style round housing carrier here but i dont. when you loosen it and spin it, make sure the carrier is seated against the swingarm housing and thats it. you really cant throw the chain allignment out a wack. if need be ill get some pics of my swing arm on my quad and itll be a better refrence.
