To tighten the chain on a KTM 525 XC, first, place the motorcycle on a stand to ensure it is stable. Loosen the axle nut on the rear wheel, then adjust the chain tension using the adjustment bolts on either side of the swingarm, turning them evenly to maintain alignment. Aim for about 1.2 to 1.6 inches of slack in the chain, and once adjusted, retighten the axle nut securely. Finally, check the alignment of the rear wheel to ensure proper chain operation.
