4.Check rear axle alignment by making
sure the chain adjuster index marks (3)
align with the index mark (4) on the
swingarm.
Both left and right marks should
correspond. If the axle is misaligned, turn
the left or right adjusting nut until the
marks correspond on the rear edge of the
adjusting slots and recheck chain slack.
5. Tighten the axle nut to specified torque.
Axle nut torque:
93 N-m (9.3 kg-m, 67 Ib-ft)
6. Tighten the adjusting bolts lightly.
Wear inspection:
Check the chain wear label when adjusting
the chain. If the red zone (5) on the label
aligns with the index mark (6) on the
swingarm after the chain has been adjusted
to the proper slack, the chain is excessively
worn and must be replaced. The proper
slack is:
25—35 mm (1.0—1.4 in)
CAUTION:
* Damage to the bottom part of the
frame may be caused by excessive
drive chain slack of more than:
50 mm (2.0 in)
