I 'm in a bind, and It's not complex, but I changed my front sprocket and it's the first time adjustment and I don't want to screw it up!

Jak the back end up, loosen the 4 allen screws on your axle carrier, then hammer the ring that is just to the right of the rear axle down (counterclockwise) , tighten the allen bolts and you're good to go. I am pretty sure down is tight and up is loosen, but im not 100% positive.

if i am not mistaken, on the \rear of the airbox, there is a sticker that shows what it needs to be adjusted at. yes, there is a little metal piece right next to the side of the rear sprocket that you use to change the chain tension. you may have to use a skrewdriver or something similar and put it in the grove of this metal piece to turn it up or down to loosen or tighten.

I was always taught that you adjust the tension with your weight on the quad. This is because the chain tension changes with the rear suspention travel.
