dificult for an operator with little experience,
we recommend contacting an authorised

3. Measure chain tension as illustrated
beforehand.
4. If the chain tension is not correct,
adjust it as follows.
• Loosen the wheel pin nut and lock
nut on each side of the swingarm.
• To tension the transmission chain,

each side of the swingarm (anti-

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Incorrect transmission chain tension will
overload the engine and other vital parts
of the motorcycle, and it may cause the
chain to slip or break. To stop this from
happening, keep the transmission chain
tension within the speciied limits.
Make sure that the distance "D" is the
same for the left and right sides of the

Dispose of used kerosene correctly. If
you are not sure that you can use kero-
sene in absolute safety, don't use it. Ask
