CAUTION
!!
Always replace the drive chain and sprockets
as a set. Otherwise the new part will wear
prematurely.
Drive chain slack should be checked and
adjusted, if necessary at every 700 km.
When operated at sustained high speeds or
under conditions of frequent rapid
acceleration, the chain may require more
frequent adjustments.
If the drive chain requires adjustment, follow
the procedures below:
Adjustment
• Park the vehicle on its main stand with the
transmission in neutral and the ignition
switch in “OFF” position.
• Loosen the rear axle nut (1).
(1) Rear axle nut
• Loosen the drive chain lock nut (3).
• Turn the adjusting nut (4) in an equal
number of turns until the correct drive chain
slack is obtained. Turn the adjusting nut
clockwise to decrease the slack or
anticlockwise to increase the slack of the
chain.
•
Excessively worn teeth
If the drive chain has damaged rollers, loose
links or missing O-rings, replace it. If the
chain is dry or rusted, it should be lubricated.
