will get tight. If
necessary, correct the chain tension.
Warning
The excessive tightness of the chain will put
additional load on the components of the secondary
drive train (chain, bearings of transmission and rear
wheel). Aside from the consequence of premature
wear-out, If it’s getting worse, the chain may rapture
or the countershaft of the transmission may break up.
The over looseness of the chain, in another aspect,
may result in the jump-off of the chain from the chain
wheel. If this happens, the chain could also block the
rear wheel or damage the engine.
