I have what i think is a 2002 Scrambler 500 4x4 that sat around for a little while. The only problem i have besides a slightly clogged up carb is that my chain has gotten a lot looser than it used to be. I've tried just reading directions from other people on how to do this (i also lost my owner's manual *facepalm*) but when people say that there should be a hole on the metal chain guard that you have to put a pin through, i can't for the life of me find out what or where it is.

tl;dr i suck and need more descriptive directions on how to tighten my chain so i can enjoy my scrambler once again.

Loosen the bolts holding the rear axel housing and turn it. It works like a cam to tighten the chain. No go on ebay and buy a dealership service manual for $10.
