CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

Chain should be checked, adjusted and lubricated as
per the "Maintenance Chart" to ensure safety and
prevent excessive wear. If the chain becomes badly
worn or is poorly adjusted (i.e., if it is too loose or too
taut), it could escape from rear sprocket or break.
To adjust the chain tension it is necessary to lower
the rear part of the motorcycle so as to achieve the
alignment of sprocket axle (A), swing arm rotation axle
(B) and rear wheel axle (C) as shown in the figure, then
let the rear wheel turn three times. In this condition the
chain must not be tight, even without arrow.
