Best Answer

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 .
