Loosen the 2 bolts on the rear center section of the rear axle housing 1 on each side and turn the center section it is offset with the axle,
Loosen the 2 bolts on back axle.... then turn the center carrier it is what is called a concentric and will tighten chain. BUT don't tighten to much
Ther are two bolts for the eccentric on the rear loosen the bolts and turn the eccentric to tighten . Chain should have a quarter inch slack in the middle ( with rider on machine ). When you sit on machine the pivot tightens the chain so dont get it too tight it will break .
In the rear end of machine there is an eccentric that adjust the chain . There are 2 bolts that loosen the eccentric .Loosen the two bolts , loosen the brake collar, a large pair of channel lock pliers works well . Be carful with the greese zert in the middle , use the channel lock pliers and rotate the eccentric to tighten chain . With the weight of the normal rider sitting on the machine you want an inch to an inch and a half play up and down in the middle after you adjust it . Tighten the bolts down and tighten the brake collar .
