Maximum movement position
Place the motorcycle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position with no
weight on it.
Rotate the rear wheel by pushing the
motorcycle to find the position where
the chain is tightest, and measure the
vertical movement of the chain midway
between the sprockets.

3.
Rear wheel spindle nut
Loosen the wheel spindle nut.
Loosen the lock nuts on both the left
hand and right hand chain adjuster
bolts.
Moving both adjusters by an equal
amount, turn the adjuster bolts
clockwise to increase chain free-
movement and counterclockwise 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 lock nuts
to
15 lbf ft (20 Nm)
and the rear wheel
spindle nut to
81 lbf ft (110 Nm)
.

Before starting work, ensure the
motorcycle is stabilized and
adequately supported. This will help
prevent injury to the operator or
damage to the motorcycle.
