3.25 CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
To carry out the following operations, position the motorcycle
on the supplied rear assembly stand horizontally and with the
gears in neutral.
WARNING:
Using the motorcycle with the chain in a bad
condition or badly adjusted may cause accidents.
WARNING:
If the chain shows flattened or scuffed links, a
correct oiling of the chain according to the
instructions in this chapter needs to be carried out.
WARNING:
If damage or excessive wear of the chain or relative
sprocket wheels is noted, change them. Every time
the chain is changed, the relative sprocket wheels
must also be changed.
Loosen the nut (1) and the locknut (2).
Adjust the chain, loosening the screw (3) to measure and fixing
it with the counternut (2).
Check the correctness of the adjustment with a caliper and
repeat the operation on the other side.
Keeping the chain in tension upwards, the axis of its lower
section must be at a distance of 15 mm from the lower chain
guard (4).
Carry out the check at several places on the chain, rotating the
rear wheel manually. If the check is successful, tighten the nut
(1). The play must remain constant while the wheel turns. If
the chain is loose only at certain places this means that some
links are flattened or scuffed.
In this case change the chain.
