Default how to tighten LT250R chain

Ah, i see you are new. Welcome to the forums. Well i don't know exactly how to do it on that perticular bike, but i think you have to loosen those bolts at the back of your swingarm, 2 maybe. Then i think there is a slot behind your rear sprocket for a place to put a screwdriver, or a alan wrench then pull it back. If i am thinking right, you hace a concentric or eccentric, chain adjuster which is pretty much a cam type mechanism, which will move the axle back, Well hope that helps, like i said i am not exactly how to do it on yours, somebody who knows will probably run a reply on this. Peace.

On the swing arm assembly
there are 4 bolts with nuts on the top, you can see where they are set buy the guide plates and inclimental markers on the swing arm itself.
Loosen those 4 bolts, then you use the bolts sticking out the backof the housing, as it tightens watch the hatch marks, make sure both sides are the same.
Then re tighten the 4 bolts holding it in place.

If your plug is constantly fouling out, maybe you need to mix your gas differently, try 32:1.
