ADJUSTMENT OF CHAIN TENSION (SMM)
Loosen both the locking screws(7) of the rear eccentric hub in a way
that the hub itself can turn around its axis.
Using the relevant TM tool, code F50806 (8), turn the hub until correct
chain tension is reached. Tighten the two locking screws to 30 Nm.
Since the movement is an eccentric system, alignment of the rear
wheel is unvaried and no further adjustment is required.
At the same time, by turning the hub a slight variation in the height of
the rear wheel axle may be verified and consequently of the rear part of
the motorcycle. It is possible to compensate this, by varying the
projection of the fork legs from the upper clamp.
For example, if the motorcycle, by effect of chain adjustment, has lifted
by 5mm. at the rear, it is advised to decrease the projection of the fork
rods by about 5mm. to also raise the front and restore the original
levelling of the motorcycle.
It is advised to use the TM tool, code F50806, pairing with two M8
screws and two nuts to turn the hub inserting the two screws into the
two holes in the hub itself.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE
Chain duration depends most of all on maintenance. Chains without
O-rings must be regularly cleaned with petroleum and then immersed
in warm chain oil or treated with chain spray. Maintenance of chains
with O-rings is reduced to a minimum. The best cleaning method is
using lots of water. Never use brushes or solvents to clean the chain.
When the chain is dry, use a chain spray that is especially suitable for
chains with O-rings.
DO NOT ALLOW THE LUBRICANT TO REACH THE REAR TYRE OR THE BRAKE
DISC, OTHERWISE ADHERENCE TO THE GROUND OF THE REAR WHEEL AND
REAR BRAKE ACTION COULD BE NOTABLY REDUCED AND IT COULD BE
EASY TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
WARNING
ON MOUNTING THE CHAIN SPLIT LINK, THE CLOSED PART MUST BE IN THE
DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT.
Always check both engine and rear wheel sprockets and drive slider
for wear. If necessary, replace these parts.
