Default Chain Tension - 300ex

How do you tighten the chain on them 300ex's...I bout mine used and the guy put a LSR swing arm and bearing carrier on it...some one said to loosen the 2 bolts on the swingarm and roll it back but that didnt too much...just let me know what ya think

Thanks

hey fly i have aa 250x which is basically the same thing and that is what you do if when you tighten it make sure its not really that tight becouse when you sit and ride on it you want it to tighten there so tight it so that when you sit on it its tight not when ther eis no presure on the bike if you do you will break the chain or worse yet you will break the case
