the boondocks?

And just what? pray tell, are you trying to do without taking it to a shop?(you should give me the 10 points just for pointing out how bad your question is before others discover it...grin)

Errr? Do what? Achieve a feeling of spiritual balance and harmony? learn taxidermy? Grind your valve seats?

Use lotsof hand lotion.

It should be pretty simple, look in the owners manual or get a repair manual for the quad. Tightening the chain should be done to specs for your specific brand and model, over tightening the chain can do some serious damage- not just sprockets and a new chain so keep that in mind. Look at your machine.. there should be some way of moving the rear axle back. Look for one or two threaded adjuster-bolts on the rear swingarm. The axle might have an offset bushing to tighten the chain as well. Call a honda shop and ask to talk with one of the mechanics, they should be able to describe the process over the phone and they should be able to tell you how tight/ where to measure the amount of slack to have in the chain.

Hey, sorry, but you really should state just what you want to do, some people might get the wrong idea, and consider you a virgin here. I cannot help with explaining the meaning of life, I have trouble with why some folks are still on this planet! Or--- are they REALLY on this planet???

Call the Dahli Llama he will tell you the question for your answer.........or tell us what it is that you are needing assistance with so you can get thirty or so bad answers on how to do something and still not know which one is really correct and you will still have a broken Honda......move in from the boondocks!
