Loosen the wheel axle (1).
Turn both the right and left adjustment screws (2) of an equal number of turns to obtain the proper
slack for the chain.
Turn the adjustment screws counter clockwise to tighten the chain.
Turn the adjustment screws clockwise and push the rear wheel forward to get more slack.
Move the motorcycle forward, stop it and put it on the side stand.
Check the chain slack again.
Align the end part of the swing arm plate (3) with reference marks (4) punched on the chain
regulator on both sides of the swing arm.
The two left and right swing arm terminals must be in correspondence to the same reference
marks. If the alignment is not correct, turn the left or right adjusting screw until the terminals are to
correspond on the graduated scale of the swing arm and then check again the chain clearance.
Tighten the rear wheel axle (1) to the tightening torque of 100Nm.
