A center of the second bearing is offset from a center of the eccentric bearing retainer. A distance between the first shaft and the second shaft is adjustable by rotating the eccentric bearing retainer. A method of adjusting a distance between a first sprocket attached to a first shaft of a drivetrain operatively interconnecting an engine to a ground engagement member of an all-terrain vehicle via a drive belt interconnected with a second sprocket attached to a second shaft of the drivetrain is also provided.
