Ducati Hyperstrada User Manual

Check drive chain tension
Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre.
Spin the rear wheel to find the position where chain
is most taut. Set the motorcycle on the side stand.
Press with a finger on the chain, at the point of
measurement and then release it. Measure the
distance (A) between the centre of chain link pins and
the swingarm aluminium part. It must be: A = 59 ÷
61 mm / 57 - 59 (Low Seat).
Important
If drive chain is too tight or slack, adjust tension
so as to bring values back to the specified range.
