Tensioning the drive chain
Turn the rear wheel slowly until you find the position in
which the chain is most taut.
With the motorcycle resting on its sidestand, push the
chain with your finger in correspondence with the mid
point of the swingarm The lower run of the chain should
deflect by approximately:
27 to 29 mm.
To adjust the tension, loosen the axle nut (1, fig. 43) and
screw in the adjuster screws (2) on both sides of the
swingarm by the same amount to tighten the chain or
unscrew them to slacken it. In the latter case, you will
need to push the wheel forward.
Important
An incorrectly tensioned chain will lead to
accelerated wear of the transmission components.
Check that the notches in the sliders (3, fig. 43) on both sides
of the swingarm are lined up with the same positioning
marks (A) to ensure that the wheel is aligned correctly.
Grease the thread of the axle nut (1) with SHELL Retinax
HDX2 and tighten to a torque of 72 Nm.
Grease the threads of the adjuster nutss (2) with SHELL
Alvania R3 and tighten to a torque of 8 Nm.
