6.10. Checking and lubricating the drive chain
To perform these operations, you must put the motorcy-
cle on the rear stand, upright on a horizontal surface
and with the gear in neutral.
Checking the chain adjustment
WARNING: Before checking the chain adjust-
ment, contact a MV Agusta authorized center
to verify that the value of the static setup of
the rear suspension is correct. Also make
sure that the chain is properly lubricated.
The axis of the chain lower portion must be 112 mm
(4.41 in.) from the lower chain guard. Manually turn the
rear wheel and carry out the check at several points
along the chain. The distance between the chain and
the lower chain guard must remain almost constant as
the wheel turns. If the chain is only partially loosened, it
means that some chain links are flattened, seized or
elongated. If the distance is greater than 112 mm (4.41
in.), have the chain adjusted by your local MV Agusta
dealer.
WARNING
When servicing the chain, always
wear heavy gloves and use
extreme caution to avoid pinching
your fingers between the chain
and the sprocket. If your hand is
pinched between the chain and the
sprocket your fingers and hand
could be amputated.
