There is a cam chain tensioner, should be on the left side of the engine.
Remove the cover, loosen the lock nut and adjust the tension screw, then
tighten the lock nut and replace the cover.  I don't know how tight it needs
to be.  Your best bet is to purchase a Clymer's or Hayne's manual on your
bike which will give you the exact procedure.  You may be able to talk to a
service manager at a dealership or at a bike shop and they may help you out.
Good luck.

On your bike, there's an automatic tensioner. The chain is between cylinder
no. 2 and 3, and the tensioner can be seen protruding between/below the
carburettors for those cylinders. Subscribe to this list, and you'll get
all the info you'll ever need:
