chain tightning
Top out the susupension by holding the back of the quad up to the top of its travel.
Measure a set distance on the grabrail to the ground
Get on quad and have a friend measure the same two points (this is the sag) should be 3 to 3.5"
THEN stay on the bike and adjust the chain so that with you on it, there is approximately 7/8" of slack (deflection) in the midding of the chain (make sure you're in neutral)
The way to adjust it is to break out your owners manual...
there's a neat little golden rod in there. This goes in a hole in the rear carrier to lock it.
Loosen the two bolts on the back of the carrier and the "eccentric" will make your chain looser or tighter.
Check the owners manual .. it's all in there.
Also, if you lost the rod thing, I'll sell you mine for $50 (haha)
You can use a drill bit of the appropriate diameter (to fit in the hole)
Be advised that the hold will sometimes have crud in it and has to be cleaned out before the rod will fit in (it's a tight fit)

It's on the right side where the sprocket is (at swingarm)
it actually goes THROUGH the sproket.
Look carefully while turning the sprocket slowed (with bike in neutral)
You'll find it.
You could also use a small stick (like a chopstick) to pole around for it.
It's there.
