chain adjusting on a 450mxr

i just bought my atv not to long ago took it out on a ride and i think it stretched the chain, i was wondering how i would tighten it and also if there is a roller on the top of the chain becuase it seems like if it gets even slightly loose its rubbing on swing arm like it is now.

I don't have my Polaris in front of me but I'll presume you turn the bearing carrier to adjust the chain. Look at the back of the swingarm. Should be 2 bolts to loosen then turn the carrier.
FYI: with rider on machine, 1" of chain slack.

Thanks, I figured it out, I wasn't sure if I could use something other than a pin punch like it says in the manual, I ended up using a screwdriver.
