Adjustment
Drive chain slack should be checked and adjusted, if
necessary, every 1,000 km (600 miles). When operated
at sustained high speeds or under conditions of
frequent rapid acceleration, the chain may require
more frequent adjustment.

If the drive chain requires adjustment, the procedure is
as follows:
1. Place the motorcycle on its side stand with the
transmission in neutral and the ignition switch off.
2. Loosen the rear axle nut (1).

of the swingarm.

4. Turn both drive chain adjusting nuts (3) an equal
number of turns until the correct drive chain slack is
obtained. Turn the drive chain adjusting nuts
clockwise to tighten the chain, or counterclockwise
to provide more slack. Adjust the chain slack at a
point midway between the drive sprocket and the
rear wheel sprocket. Roll the motorcycle forward.
Stop and place it on its side stand. Recheck chain
slack.
Chain slack should be:
15 – 20 mm (0.6 – 0.8 in)
5. Check rear axle alignment by making sure the chain
adjuster index marks (4) align with the rear edge (5)
of the adjusting slots.
Both marks should correspond. If the axle is
misaligned, turn the right or left drive chain
adjusting nut until the marks correspond on the rear
edge of the adjusting slots and recheck chain slack.
6. Tighten the rear axle nut to specified torque.
Rear axle nut torque:
88 N·m (9.0 kgf·m, 65 lbf·ft)
