Checking the chain tension (fig. 61)
Slowly move the motorcycle to determine the position at
which the chain is most taut.
Rest the motorcycle on its sidestand. At the foremost point
of the side chain guard, check the distance between the
swingarm and the middle of the links in the bottom run of
the chain. The distance must be between 38 and 42 mm,
as shown on the label on the swingarm. If it is not,
adjust the chain tension accordingly.
Important
Have the chain tensioned at a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Workshop.
Warning
Correct tightening of the swingarm bolts (1, fig. 62)
is essential to rider and passenger safety.
Important
An incorrectly tensioned chain will cause the rapid
wear of transmission parts.
