CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
Chain should be checked, adjusted and lubricated as per
the Maintenance Chart to ensure safety and prevent ex-
cessive wear.
If the chain becomes badly worn or is adjusted incorrectly
(i.e., it is too loose or too tight), it could jump out of the
sprocket or break.
Check that distance "A" between the chain (1) and the
bottom part of the slider (2) measures 25 ÷ 30 mm
(0.984 ÷ 1.181 in):
When the vehicle is running,the chain must not hit the
bottom part of the slider (2).
If this is not the case, proceed as follows:
- make sure that the motorcycle is fully upright on the
special rear support stand (optional).
- on the left side, loosen the locking nut (3) of the wheel
axle;
- loosen the check nuts (4) on both chain tensioners;
- turn the adjuster screws (5) to obtain the correct ten-
sion and check on both sides that the wheel centring
sliders (6) are in the same position as the markings in
the chain tensioner slider seats on the swinging arms;
- once adjusted, tighten the check nuts (4) and the wheel
axle nut (5).
After adjusting, always check that distance "A" is 25 ÷
30 mm (0.984 ÷ 1.181 in).
