To adjust the drive chain slack
Consult a Yamaha dealer before ad-
justing the drive chain slack.
1. Loosen the axle nut and the lock-
nut on each side of the swingarm.
2. To tighten the drive chain, turn the
drive chain slack adjusting bolt on
each side of the swingarm in direc-
tion (a). To loosen the drive chain,
turn the adjusting bolt on each side
of the swingarm in direction (b),
and then push the rear wheel for-
ward.

Using the alignment marks and notch
on each side of the swingarm, make
sure that both drive chain pullers are in
the same position for proper wheel
alignment.

nuts to their specified torques.

ers are in the same position, the
