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. With the
chain in its rest position, measure the upward travel.
It must be: A = 27 ÷ 29 mm (1.06 ÷ 1.14 in).
This only applies to the motorcycle STANDARD
available upon delivery.
The chain tension value is valid if the rear shock
absorber (B) is in default condition, that is 2 notches
from the fully compressed condition, as shown
(Fig 178).
