How do you tighten your chain?? - Kawasaki KFX450 Forum

I heard that gently hammering down on the notches right to the right of the rear sprockets, slightly extends the rear end, which in turn tightens the chain. Is this true and if so is it safe??

Use the tool kit for what?

Theirs a tool in that kit that fits right in there to adjust it. I think you push down to tighten it,first you have to loosen the 4 bolts of course.
