You need to loosen the 4 bolts on the back of the swingarm and then stick a screw driver into a hole that is located in the carrier on the right side of the quad. Then just push the quad forward or backward until the chain has the correct tension. A good rule of thumb is to be able to fit 2 fingers between the chain and the swingarm right behind the chain buffer. You need to make sure that the adjustment hole stays belows the centerline of the chain travel.

This page may be useful. There is an online owners manual that shows how to adjust the chain.
