REAR CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
Any adjustment of the rear chain must be made with
the motorcycle on Its centre stand. Movement of
the wheelis controlled by adjuster A at each end of
the spindle, which must first be released by slack-
enlng'the nut on the right side.
The adjuster bolts C must be tightened by the same
amount, after releasing locknut D, in order to
preserve chain alignment, until the total free play
at the centre of the chain run Is ;}". Be sure to
tighten the spindle nut. Movement of the wheel
does
not effect the brake.
Note: Before using the motorcycle, apply the
brake several times and check that it functions
normally.

Wheel alignment.
If the wheel alignment was correct originally, and
the adjuster nuts were tightened egually, the
wheelsshould remain In alignment. If in doubt, check
as described in Section F19.
A positive all reed
to the rear chain is taken from the
return side of the oil tank. Adjustment of the rate
of flow Is made by removing the tank cap and
rotating a
screw which will be observed In the neck.
Turn the screw clockwise to reduce the flow and
anti-clockwise to Increase it. (See Fig: A12).
