Transmission, Rear Chain Adjustment And Lubrication - RIEJU MRX Owner's Manual

TRANSMISSION CHAIN ADJUSTING AND LUBRICATION
The MRX / SMX is fitted with a chain tensioner to help maintain the correct chain tension, nevertheless
the chain needs to be inspected and lubricated at regular intervals. If the bike is operated in the deres-
tricted mode the wear on the chain will be greater due to the extra power being transmitted to the rear
wheel.
To correct the chain tension, loosen the rear axel bolts and turn the adjustment plates of the rear wheel
axle clockwise to tighten the chain and anti-clockwise to loosen the chain. Turn the rear wheel several
times and check the tension in various areas to find the point at which the chain is at its tightest point.
To check the chain adjustment the chain tensioner must be pulled away from the chain. The chain should
have 35 – 45 mm of movement.
