Adjusting the Drive Chain
Slack
Adjusting the chain requires special tools.
Have the drive chain slack adjusted by your
dealer.
1.
Shift the transmission to Neutral. Stop the
engine.
2.
Place your motorcycle on its side stand on
a firm, level surface.
3.
Loosen the rear axle nut.
4.
Turn both adjusters an equally until the
correct drive chain slack is obtained.
Adjust the slack at a point midway
between the drive sprocket and the
driven sprocket.
5.
Check rear axle alignment by making sure
the chain adjuster index marks align with
the stopper pins on both side of the
swingarm.
Both marks should correspond. If the axle
is misaligned, turn the right or left
adjusters until the marks are aligned and
recheck chain slack.
