i was just wondering how you tighten up the chain?
mine seems to be really loose and makes alot of noise and any advice will help thanks!

All you do is loosen the four bolts on the rear of the swingarm and then stick an allen wrench in the carrier slots which are right next to the rear sprocket the pull back to tighten.I think the manual recommends 1 3/16 to 1 9/16 inch slack in the top middle from when held up measuring at the top of the link to dropped measuring at the bottom of the link.Hope this helped.

In the Honda shop manual it show's in the illustration to measure at the middle point of the chain taking your measurement at the link pins top and bottom.
