12 . INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
REAR DERAILLEUR ADJUSTMENT (FIG 19):
With the right shift lever all the way back or the twist shift all the way forward,
the rear derailleur should position the chain on the smallest rear sprocket
with no trace of slack in the control cable.
If the chain does not reach the smallest sprocket:
Adjust limiting screw “H” (moving it out, away from the derailleur housing)
allowing the necessary additional outward travel of the derailleur.
Once adjusted, limiting screw “H” should be moved to bottom against the
derailleur housing, stopping any additional outward travel of the derailleur
and preventing the chain from running off the smallest sprocket.
If there is slack in the cable:
Turn the barrel adjustment counterclockwise to remove slack. If the slack
is not taken up, or if the derailleur does not have a barrel adjuster, a cable
adjustment is necessary. Loosen the cable-fi xing bolt freeing the cable. Pull
the cable tight and retighten bolt securely.
With the right shift lever all the way forward, or the twist shift all the way back,
the derailleur should position the chain on the largest rear sprocket.
If the chain does not reach the largest sprocket:
Adjust limiting screw “L” to allow for
this and position it to bottom against
the derailleur housing to prevent any
additional inward travel of the
rear derailleur. This will stop the
chain from running off the inside
of the large rear sprocket.
