I did this last year....If I remember corrctly..there are two bolts on top of your swingarm guard.
Loosen up the two jam nuts...then turn the bolts IN..that is how I tightened up my chain...someone correct me if i did incorrect.

just be sure to tighten each one the same amount of turns otherwise it will throw the rearend out of alignment... if this DOES happen take a tape measure and measure from the locking nut to the head of the shank of the adjustment bolt. if u need anymore help just pm me.. btw i have someone that has some shocks forsale for cheap

There's lots of grease points on your rear swingarm .. the one at the base of your shock is the linkage.
The correct amount of total slack in your chain is 40mm or 1-1/2" (little more actually) that's total up and down motion.
The step-by-step chain adjustment is ...
1. Loosen the upper and lower carrier bolts (they go inline with your axel on the top and bottom of the carrier. This allows the carrier to swivel and adjust your chain slack.
2. Loosen the locking nuts (or jam nuts if you prefer) on each side
3. Either tighten or loosen the adjusting screws depending on if you want to tighten or loosen your chain.
4. tighten the lock nuts
5. Tighten the upper and lower carrier bolts
6. spin the wheels while sighting up the chain to make sure it's coming straight off the sprocket.
7. If the chain isn't coming straight off the sprocket you need to adjust one side or the other .. repeat the above steps.
It's important not to over tighten your chain. Two reasons for this. 1. An over tight chain causes more wear and tear on both itself and the sprockets .. sprokets is not so bad .. they're cheap .. chains aren't and when that chain breaks .. you could get seriously hurt if it whips your leg or jams everything up solid .. OR you could crack your engine case. 2. It puts excessive strain on your axel bearings and restricts the freedom of movement on your swinging parts.
