Checking drive chain tension

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. With just a finger, push down the chain at
the point of measurement and release.
Position the chain tensioning measuring gauge (1)
between the slider (2) and swingarm (3), fully home
on the rear screw (4) and ensure that the centre of
the chain pins is between the notches (B) and (C) of
the gauge.
In this case, the gap (A) between the centre of the
chain pins and the slider, for chain tensioning, is
permissible when: A = 33 ÷ 35 mm (1.30 ÷ 1.38) in.
