DRIVE TRAIN
Your KUBERG motorcycle features a traditional chain and sprockets, covered by a plastic chain-
guard. It is direct drive with no gears. The motor is mounted in the swing arm so movement of
suspension has no eect on chain tension. However, the chain does need to be checked and
adjusted on a regular basis, especially when the bike is new.
The chain must be checked before every ride and adjusted as necessary. There should be very
little slack in the chain.
ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION
Follow these steps to adjust chain tension:
1
Ensure power is turned o.
2
Remove chain guard by removing 4 bolts.
3
Loosen axle nuts and band brake mount bolt.
4
Turn adjustment nuts evenly on both sides. Very small movements can make a big dier-
ence. Do not tighten so much there is no slack at all. It should be ‘taught’, not ‘tight’.
5
While the chain guard is o, lubricate the chain & check the sprocket bolts for tightness.
6
Reverse the above procedure, ensuring all bolts are tight.
7
Check the wheel for alignment, and the chain for tension.
WARNING: ALWAYS RIDE WITH CHAIN COVER
The chain cover helps to prevent accidental injuries from the chain. Never ride your motorcycle
when the chain cover is not in place. Operating your motorcycle without the chain cover may
result in serious injury.
WARNING!
Failure to maintain and adjust the chain and align the wheel correctly could result in the chain
jumping o the sprockets, causing a potentially dangerous and damaging condition.
