DRIVE CHAIN SLACKNESS
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
vehicle is ridden in unusually dusty areas.
more frequent maintenance will be necessary.
Inspection
The service life of the drive chain depends
upon proper lubrication and adjustment.
•
Turn the engine “OFF”, park the vehicle on
its main stand and shift the transmission to
neutral. Remove hole cap (2).
•
Drive chain slack (3) should be adjusted to
allow approximately 25 mm vertical
movement by hand.
