DRIVE CHAIN
The service life of the drive chain is depends
upon proper lubrication and adjustment.
Poor maintenance can cause premature wear
or damage to the drive chain and sprockets.
The drive chain (1) should be checked and
lubricated as part of the Pre-ride Inspection
(page 20). Under severe usage, or when the
motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty areas,
more frequent maintenance will be necessary.
Inspection
î Turn the engine “OFF”, park the motorcycle
on its main stand and shift the transmission to
neutral. Remove hole cap (2).
î Drive chain slack (3) should be adjusted to
allow approximately 20-30 mm vertical
movement by hand.
Rotate the wheel and check drive chain slack as
the wheel rotates. Drive chain slack should
remain constant as the wheel rotates. If the
chain is slack in one section and tight in another,
some links are kinked and binding. Binding can
be eliminated by frequent lubrication.
