200 x help please.

[dovesprings250R]

Hi Guys. I just picked up an 85 200x. It has a red painted swingarm( box section) It may be stock and just painted unless those came red. I am trying to tighten the chain. It doesn't seem to have the set up like the 250R or 350x. How do you tighten the chain on these? There are no bolts on the back of the swingarm near the carrier so it must adjust some other way I hope.
Also, the rear sprocket seems to be loose on the axle. It looks a clip of some sort holds it on. Is this commom? CVan I just add some small spacers to get rid of the play, or tighten it somehow, or is it just worn out? I have never had a 200x so thanks for any help guys.

The 85 200x had adjusters up at the swinger bolt.Loosen the swinger bolt,then use the adjusters on the swinger bolt to lengthen the swinger to take up slack in the chain.The sprocket being loose on them old machines is fairly normal unless it is really bad.I used to have a 85 200x.cool little machine.Except the chain adjustment is a pain.

Since it is an 85, it must be a round frame; unless you are talking about the swingarm, then it should be square unless someone switched it with an 83's tubular(heh) swingarm.

round frame. Sorry for no photos. I have no camera and a broken hard drive so I can only use my computer at work.(on the dl of course)
