To inspect the drive chain movement:
• Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position with no weight on it.
• Rotate the rear wheel by pushing
the motorcycle to find the position
where the drive chain is tightest,
and measure the vertical movement
of the drive chain midway between
the sprockets.
Drive Chain Free Movement

The vertical movement of the drive
chain must be in the range 0.79 - 1.18 in

If the drive chain free movement
measurement is incorrect, adjustments
must be made as follows:
• Loosen the wheel spindle nut.
• Loosen the lock nuts on both the
left hand and right hand drive chain
adjuster bolts.
• Move both adjusters by an equal
amount using the adjuster markings
as a guideline.
• Turn the adjuster bolts clockwise to
increase drive chain free movement
and counterclockwise to reduce
drive chain free movement.
• When the correct amount of drive
chain free movement has been set,
push the wheel into firm contact
with the adjusters.
