How do you tighten the chain on a 300ex? I don't have an owner's manual. I need to know very soon. Could you explain how to do it in detail. Thanx

The way I do it is I put it on a stand, loosen the two pinch bolts at the end of the swingarm, they're the hex-head ones. After these are loose I put a flat screwdriver in one of the slots on the axle carrier and rotate it whichever way it needs to go to tighten or loosen the chain. Once you have to correct freeplay, tighten the pinch bolts up evenly and your set. Make sure the bolts are pretty tight, if they're not, the carrier will move on you as you ride and tighten or loosen your chain. Hope this helps.
