Checking drive chain tension
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre.
Make the rear wheel turn until you find the position
where chain is tightest. Set the motorcycle on the
side stand. With just a finger, push down the chain at
the point of measurement and release. Measure the
distance (A) between the centre of the chain pins and
the aluminium section of the swinging arm: It must
be: A = 96 ÷ 98 mm (3.77 ÷ 3.85 in).
This only applies to the motorcycle STANDARD
available upon delivery.
Carry out these inspection operations with the
engine the vehicle at a standstill, on a flat ground
and on the stand.
