2.35.1 CHECKING THE PLAY
To check the chain play:
Place the vehicle on the center stand.
Set the gearshift lever to neutral.
Make sure that the play is approximately 0.98 in
(25 mm), at a point between the sprocket and
countershaft sprocket in the lower chain run.
Move the vehicle forward, to check the chain play in
other positions as well; the clearance must remain
constant throughout the wheel rotation.
WARNING
If the clearance is greater in certain positions, this
means that some of the links are crushed or seized
up. To prevent the risk of seizing, lubricate the chain
frequently, see 2.41.1 (CLEANING AND
LUBRICATION).
If the clearance is even but more or less than 0.98 in
(25 mm), adjust as needed, see 2.35.3 (ADJUSTING
THE DRIVE CHAIN).
WARNING
An excessively loose chain may cause noise or make
the chain rattle, with consequent wear of the shoe
and of the chain guide plate. Lack of or incorrect
maintenance can cause premature wear of the chain
and/or damage the sprockets. Perform maintenance
operations more frequently if the vehicle is used in
harsh conditions, or on dusty, wet and/or muddy
roads.
