DRIVE CHAIN
This motorcycle has an endless
drive chain constructed from spe-
cial materials. It does not use a
master link. We recommend that
you take your motorcycle to an
authorized Suzuki dealer if the
drive chain needs to be replaced.
The condition and adjustment of
the drive chain should be checked
each day before you ride. Always
follow the guidelines for inspect-
ing and servicing the chain.
Inspecting the Drive Chain
When inspecting the chain, look
for the following:
• Loose pins
• Damaged rollers
• Dry or rusted links
• Kinked or binding links
• Excessive wear
• Improper chain adjustment
If you find anything wrong with the
drive chain condition or adjust-
ment, correct the problem if you
know how. If necessary, consult
your authorized Suzuki dealer.
Damage to the drive chain means
that the sprockets may also be
damaged. Inspect the sprockets
for the following:
Good Worn
• Excessively worn teeth
• Broken or damaged teeth
• Loose sprocket mounting nuts
If you find any of these problems
with your sprocket, consult your-
Suzuki dealer.
WARNING
Riding with the chain in poor
condition or improperly
adjusted can lead to an acci-
dent.
Inspect, adjust, and maintain
the chain properly before each
ride, according to this section.
