Chain Free--movement Inspection
1.
Maximum Movement Position
(25--35 mm)
•
Support the motorcycle on a firm,
level surface with the side stand.
•
Rotate the rear wheel to find the
position where the chain is tightest,
and measure the vertical movement
of the chain midway between the
sprockets.
•
The vertical movement of the drive
chain must be 25--35 mm.
Chain Free--movement Adjustment
•
If
the
chain
free--movement
measurement is incorrect, adjustments
must be made as follows:
•
Loosen the wheel spindle nut.
•
Release the locknuts on both the left
and right chain adjuster bolts.
•
Moving both adjusters by an equal
amount, turn the adjuster bolts
clockwise
to
increase
chain
free-movement and anti-clockwise to
reduce chain free-movement.

•
When the correct amount of chain
free-movement has been set, push
the wheel into firm contact with the
adjuster. Tighten both adjuster
locknuts to 27 Nm and the rear wheel
spindle nut to 110 Nm.
•
Rotate the rear wheel and repeat the
chain adjustment check. Re-adjust
if necessary
WARNING: Operation of the
motorcycle with insecure
adjuster locknuts or a loose wheel
spindle may result in impaired
stability
and
handling
of
the
motorcycle. This impaired stability
and handling may lead to loss of
control or an accident.
•
Check the rear brake for correct
operation (i.e. that the pedal does not
have excessive travel and does not
feel soft or spongey).
