    Nope not adjustable. All you can do and really NEED to do is make sure the sprocket slides left to right. It won't take up any slack if it stays centered. It may sound weird but that's how they designed the front setup. So make sure to knock over the sprocket either way with say a rubber mallet and coat the shaft liberally with something like Anti-seize to keep the shaft lubed for the sprocket to slide left to right. Mine seem to drift at least 1/2" each side off center at least. Keep them chains lubed up good too!
