Chain tensioning
(fig. 52)
Turn the rear wheel slowly until you find the position in
which the chain is most taut.
With the motorcycle on the side stand, push the chain
upwards with your finger at the centre line of the swingarm.
The lower section of the chain must be able to travel (fig. 43):
25 ÷ 27 mm.
To adjust the tension, slacken the nut (1, fig. 44) on the
wheel hub, tighten screw (2) clockwise by the same
amount on both sides of the swingarm to increase the
tension or unscrew to reduce 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.
Grease the thread of wheel hub nut (1) with
SHELL Retinax HDX2 and tighten to 72 Nm.
Grease with SHELL Alvania R3 the thread of the
adjuster screws (2) and tighten to 8 Nm.
