Adjusting the Drive chain
1. Loosen the rear axle nut (3).
2. Loosen the lock nuts (2) on both sides of the
swing arm.
3. Turn the adjusting nuts (1) on the right and left
chain adjusters an equal number of turns to
increase or decrease chain slack.
4. Torque the rear axle nut to: 35 lb-ft. If a torque
wrench was not used for this installation, have
your dealer inspect the bike as soon as possible
to verify proper assembly. Improper re-assembly
may lead to premature chain and/or sprocket
wear, chain or sprocket failure, damage to the
bike, and loss of control which could result in
injury or death.
5. Tighten the adjusting nuts lightly. Then, while
holding the adjusting nuts with a wrench, tighten
the lock nuts.
6. Recheck drive chain slack.
7. Check rear brake pedal free play and adjust as
necessary. Free play may be affected when the
rear wheel is repositioned to adjust drive chain
slack.
Check the chain slider for wear. If the ridge in the
center of the slider is worn, have your dealer
replace the chain slider.
