Warning
Misalignment of the wheels causes abnormal wear
and may result in the motorcycle being driven
dangerously.
Notice
When a new chain is installed, both chain wheels
must be checked for wear and replaced if neces-
sary.
During the periodic inspection, the chain shall be
inspected for the following conditions:
(1) Loose pin
(2) Damaged roller
(3) Dry and rusty chain joints
(4) Twisted or seized chain joints
(5) Excessive damage
(6) Adjust the loose chain
If the chain has the above problems, the sprockets
will be very likely to cause damage to it. Inspect the
sprockets for the following:
(1) Overworn gear
(2) Broken or damaged gear
(3) Loose sprocket retaining nut.
Adjustment of the drive chain (single swing
arm):
Every 1000km, adjust the drive
chain so that the chain sag is
28 to 35mm. Depending on
your driving situation, the chain
may need to be adjusted
frequently.
Warning
These recommendations are for maximum adjust-
ment intervals, and in fact the adjustment chain
should be checked before each drive. Excessive
looseness of the chain may cause the chain to fall
off from the chain or cause serious damage to the
engine.
