Check, clean, lubricate and adjust the drive chain in
the following manner:
1. Place the vehicle on centre stand with the
transmission in neutral.
2. Inspect the drive chain slackness (vertical
movement) using the finger as shown in the
figure.
3. The slackness of the drive chain should not
exceed the limit (20 ~ 25 mm).
4. If the slackness is found more contact TVS Motor
Company Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised
Dealer for adjustment.
5. If the slackness is found within the limit, clean
the chain with a dry cloth and lubricate using TRU
SPRAY / TRU4 oil.
Lubricate the drive chain after the motorcycle is
washed with water or riding in rainy / wet condition.
The chain must be serviced more frequently when the
vehicle is operated under severe conditions like dusty,
muddy, wet, high speed or frequent starting / stopping.
Caution
Riding with improperly adjusted chain / high slackness
can cause the chain to come off the sprockets resulting
in accident or serious damage to the motorcycle.
Misalignment of rear wheel or sprockets can cause
abnormal wear of chain and sprockets and results in
unsafe riding condition.
