To adjust the tension, proceed as follows.
Slacken off the two clamp screws (1) that secure the rear wheel hub to the swingarm.
Fit the hook spanner code 88713.1038 inserting its tooth in the eccentric hub (2).
Rotate the eccentric hub (2) to obtain the correct chain tension.
Turn anticlockwise to tighten the chain; clockwise to loosen (from chain side).
Important
An incorrectly tensioned chain will lead to accelerated wear of the transmission components.
If the screws (1) are removed, lubricate with specified grease underside and thread, then tighten the screws (1) to a
torque of 31 Nm
± 5% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings) in the sequence 1-2-1.
Warning
For the safety of the rider and passenger, it is essential that the eccentric hub screws are correctly tightened.
Checking brake pad wear and changing brake pads
Warning
Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage paintwork. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. In the case of accidental contact,
wash the affected area thoroughly with plenty of running water.
Important
On handing over the motorcycle after changing the brake pads, inform the customer that the front brake must be used
gently for the first 100 km to allow the pads to bed in completely.
Checking front brake pad wear
Look through the slot in the calliper clip (1) to make sure the groove in the brake pad friction material (2) is still visible.
