My chain is kinda loose and I was wondering if there is a special tool needed to tighten up the chain? If not then how do you tighten it up? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

just untighten the 4 bolts on the back of the swingarm, and insert a thick screwdriver into the little wholes in the bearing carrier, and push downward until your chain has the reccomended slack (about 1 inch of play)

Take off your seat. Pull out the black square thin plastic box. Read your owners manual.:D

If you still have the tool kit the tool is in there.
