If there is a higher clearance in certain positions, it means that there are crushed or seized meshes, in this case
contact an Authorized Fantic Motor Center. To prevent the risk of seizure, it is recommended to lubricate the
chain correctly.
Lubrication and cleaning
The chain must always be kept well lubricated and must be cleaned especially after riding off-road with mud or sand. If
there are dry or rusty parts, if there are crushed or seized meshes, it is advisable to lubricate the chain and replace the
damaged parts in working conditions. If this is not possible, contact an Authorized Fantic Motor Centre.
Do not wash the chain with jets of water, steam, high pressure jets and solvents with a high degree of
flammability.
For chain recommended lubrication and cleaning products, refer to the “RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS TABLE”
section.
Clearance check
– Stop the engine;
– Position the vehicle on the kickstand;
– Place the gear lever in neutral;
– Pressing with a finger an intermediate point between the pinion
and the rim, press the lower branch of the chain first downwards
and then towards the other, measuring the distance from
the edge of the swingarm; check that the vertical oscillation,
obtained as the difference between the highest value
“A”
and
the lowest value
“B”
, is about
35 mm (1.37 in)
.
– Move the vehicle forward, in order to check the vertical
oscillation of the chain also in other positions; the clearance
must remain constant in all the phases of the wheel rotation.
