Check, clean, lubricate and adjust the drive chain in
the following manner:
1. Place the vehicle on centre stand with the
transmission in neutral.
2. Inspect the drive chain slackness (vertical
movement) using the finger as shown in the
figure.
3. The slackness of the drive chain should not
exceed the limit (maximum 20 ~ 30 mm). Excess
slackness consumes more fuel.
4. If the slackness is found more, contact TVS Motor
Company Authorised Main Dealer / Authorised
Dealer for adjustment.
5. If the slackness found is within the limit, clean
the chain with TRU SPRAY chain cleaner & dry
cloth and lubricate using TRU SPRAY / TRU4 oil.
Riding with improperly adjusted chain / high slackness
can cause the chain to come off the sprockets resulting
in accident or serious damage to the motorcycle.
Misalignment of rear wheel or sprockets can cause
abnormal wear of chain and sprockets and results in
unsafe riding condition.
