To tighten the chain on a 1990 Honda FourTrax 200, first, place the ATV on a flat surface and elevate the rear with a lift or stand. Locate the rear axle adjusters on both sides of the swingarm, then loosen the axle nut and adjust the tension by turning the adjuster bolts evenly on both sides to achieve the desired chain slack. Check the chain slack by pulling on it at the midpoint; it should have about 1 to 1.5 inches of play. Finally, re-tighten the axle nut and double-check the chain tension before riding.
