Drive Chain
For safety and to prevent excessive wear, the drive
chain must be checked, adjusted, and lubricated in
accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart. If
the chain becomes badly worn or maladjusted-either
too loose or too tight-it could jump off the sprockets
or break.
WARNING
A chain that breaks or jumps off the sprock-
ets could snag on the engine sprocket or lock
the rear wheel, severely damaging the motor-
cycle and causing it to go out of control. In-
spect the chain for damage and proper ad-
justment before each ride.
Chain Slack Inspection
•
Raise the rear wheel off the ground, rotate the rear
wheel to find the place where the chain is tightest
(because it wears unevenly).
•
Push up the drive chain in the middle of the upper
chain run to measure the chain slack. The dis-
tance between the chain and the swingarm (at the
end of the chain slipper) should be 45
∼
55 mm
(1.8
∼
2.2 in.).
•
Adjust the drive chain if its slack is out of specifi-
cation.
