2-28 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Apply oil to the sides of the rollers so that oil will
penetrate to the rollers and bushings. Apply the oil to
the O-rings so that the O-rings will be coated with oil.
Wipe off any excess oil.
Oil Applied Areas [A]
O-rings [B]
Drive Train Slack Inspection
NOTE
O Check the slack with the motorcycle setting on its
sidestand.
O Clean the chain if it is dirty, and lubricate it if it
appears dry.
Check the wheel alignment (see Wheel Alignment
Inspection).
Rotate the rear wheel to find the position where the
chain is tightest.
Measure the vertical movement (chain slack) [A] mid-
way between the sprockets.
If the chain slack exceeds the standard, adjust it.
Chain Slack
Standard: 30~40 mm (1.2~1.6 in.)
Drive Chain Slack Adjustment
Remove the cotter pin [A], and loosen the axle nut [B].
Loosen the both chain adjuster locknuts [C].
If the chain is too loose, turn in the left and right chain
adjuster nuts [D] evenly.
If the chain is too tight, turn out the left and right chain
adjuster nuts evenly, and kick the wheel forward.
Turn both chain adjuster nuts evenly until the drive
chain has the correct amount of slack. To keep the
chain and wheel properly aligned, the value [E] on the
left wheel alignment adjuster [F] should align with the
same (left or right) edge [G] of inspection window on
the swingarm that the right wheel alignment adjuster
value aligns with.
WARNING
Misalignment of the wheel will result in
abnormal wear and may result in an unsafe
riding condition.
Tighten both chain adjuster locknuts securely.
Tighten the axle nut.
