DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the drive chain slack in the fol-
lowing manner until it has 45 – 55 mm
(1.8 – 2.2 in) of slack at the mid point
between the chain buffer and the rear
sprocket.
CAUTION
Cleaning the chain with gasoline
or commercial cleaning solvents
can damage O-rings and ruin the
chain.
These fluids can damage the O-
rings and ruin the chain.
Clean the drive chain with kero-
sene only.
CAUTION
Some drive chain lubricants con-
tain solvents and additives which
could damage the O-rings in your
chain.
Your vehicle’s chain contains O-
rings which can be damaged by
the solvents and additives in
some types of drive chain lubri-
cant.
Use Suzuki chain lube or an equiv-
alent chain lubricant that is specif-
ically intended for use with O-ring
chains.
WARNING
Failure to inspect the drive chain
slack before each use of the vehi-
cle could be hazardous.
Too much chain slack can cause
the chain to come off the sprock-
ets, resulting in an accident or
serious damage to the vehicle.
Inspect and adjust the drive chain
slack before each use.
