Monster 696/696+
- M.Y. 2009 - edition 00
Use and maintenance
Adjusting the chain tension
Tensioning the drive chain.
Turn the rear wheel slowly to find the position at which the chain is at its most taut.
With the motorcycle on its sidestand, press with a finger in the centre of the bottom run of the chain and measure the distance
between the centres of chain link pins and the aluminium swingarm. The distance should be within
46
to
48
mm.
To adjust the tension, proceed as follows.
Loosen the axle nuts (1).
Turn the chain tension adjuster screws (2) on both sides of the swingarm clockwise by the same number of turns to increase
tension or counterclockwise to decrease it. In the latter case, you will need to push the wheel forward.
Important
An incorrectly tensioned chain will lead to accelerated wear of the transmission components.
Check that the reference marks on both sides of the swingarm are lined up. This indicates perfect wheel alignment.
Tighten the axle nuts (1) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).
Tighten the tension adjuster screws (2) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque settings).
Also check that the nuts (3) securing the sprocket to the flange are tight. This can also be done with the wheel mounted, inserting
a
8
mm wrench on a flexible arm from the other side to hold the pins while checking the tightness of the sprocket nuts.
In the case of renewal of the nuts (3), use threadlocker and tighten them to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Frame torque
settings).
