Checking the chain tension
(fig. 71)
Important
Have the chain tensioned at a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Workshop.
With the motorcycle on the sidestand, push down the chain
with a finger. Then release the chain and measure the distance
between the surface of the chain slider and the centre of the
pin below it. The distance should be within 33 to 35 mm.
Warning
The tensioner lock nuts (1) must be tightened correctly
to ensure rider safety.
Important
An incorrectly tensioned chain will cause the rapid
wear of transmission parts.
Lubricating the drive chain
The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to protect its
moving parts from dirt, and to hold the lubricant inside.
So as not to damage these seals when cleaning the chain,
use special solvents and avoid aggressive washing with
high-pressure steam cleaners.
After cleaning, blow the chain dry with compressed air or
wipe with an absorbent material, then lubricate each link
with SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain.
Important
Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe
damage to the chain and the front and rear sprockets.
