Inspecting the Drive Chain
Slack
Check the drive chain slack at several points
along the chain. If the slack is not constant at
all points, some links may be kinked and
binding.
Have the chain inspected by your dealer.
1.
Shift the transmission to Neutral. Stop the
engine.
2.
Place your vehicle on its centre stand on a
level surface.
Drive chain slack:
20 to 30 mm (0.8 to 1.2 in)
3.
Remove the inspection hole cap.
4.
Move your drive chain up and down with
your finger.
►
Do not ride your vehicle if the slack
exceeds 50 mm (2.0 in).

Rotate the rear wheel and check that the
chain moves smoothly.
