q Checking the chain adjustment (Brutale 1000 RR)
WARNING
Before checking the chain adjustment, con-
tact a MV Agusta authorized centre to verify
that the value of the static setup of the rear
suspension is correct. Also make sure that
the chain is properly lubricated.
The axis of the chain lower portion must be 52 mm from
the lower chain guard. Manually turn the rear wheel and
carry out the check at several points along the chain.
The distance between the chain and the lower chain
guard must remain almost constant as the wheel turns.
If, on the other hand, the play on the chain varies con-
siderably, it means that some chain links are flattened,
seized or elongated. If the distance is greater than 52
mm, have the chain adjusted by your local MV Agusta
dealer.
