Checking drive chain tension
Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre.
Make the rear wheel turn until you find the position
where chain is tightest.
Set the motorcycle on the side stand. Push belt down
to the measurement point and then release it.
Measure the distance between the "aperture" upper
profile and the pin centre.
Such distance must be: 9 ÷ 11 mm (0.35 ÷ 0.43 in).
Important
This only applies to the motorcycle STANDARD
settings, available upon delivery.
Important
If drive chain is too tight or slack, adjust tension
so as to bring values back to the specified range.
