DRIVE CHAIN GUIDE
The drive chain must be checked, adjusted, and lubricated in
accordance with the Maintenance Schedule. If the chain is worn or
adjusted incorrectly (either too loose or too tight) the chain could
become loose or break. Replace the chain, if necessary.
WARNING
A chain that breaks or becomes loose could snag on the engine or
on the rear wheel, severely damaging the motorcycle and causing
it to go out of control
30-50 mm.

Drive Chain Slack Inspection
The space between the chain and the swingarm at the same height
of the chain slider should be 30-50 mm. Rotate the rear wheel to
find the place where the chain is tighter. Adjust the drive chain if it
has too much or too little slack.
In addition to checking the slack, rotate the rear wheel to inspect for
damaged rollers, loose pin and links, unevenly or excessively worn
teet, and damaged teeth.
