Chain guide block inspection

Check the drive chain guide block for excessive wear, 

cracks, and/or any other damage. Make sure it is fastened 

securely to the swingarm. If the guide block is damaged or 

worn, replace it with a new one.

Chain slack inspection

NOTE : 

Clean and lubricate the drive chain before measuring

the slack. The chain’s condition affects the accuracy of

measurement. Also, when measuring, rotate the chain

and measure different links at the mid-point between

the sprockets.

1. Place the vehicle on a level surface with all four wheels

on the ground.

2. Measure the slack (a) at the middle point between the

sprockets from the top of the swingarm to the bottom of

the links. Adjust if out of specification.
