Chain Reassembling - MV Agusta Brutale 990 R Workshop Manual

CHAIN REASSEMBLING

Pick the new connecting link from the package.
The connecting link is supplied lubricated
with a special product that guarantees long
life. Absolutely avoid wiping away the lubri-
cant from the pin surfaces, as this would
seriously reduce the connecting links opera-
tional life.
This is particularly important for O-Ring
chains, as they cannot be re-lubricated.
Never reuse an old rivet link or old outer
plate previously disassembled from the
chain.
Check that the fork of the new connecting link fork has
F
an O-Ring installed on each pin.
Insert the new connecting link fork from the wheel side,
avoiding any contact with the pins in order not to remo-
ve the lubricant.
Place the other two O-Rings on the extended ends of
the bushings.
Rotate the rear wheel so that the rivet link is positioned
on the lower strand of the chain where there is more
room to work.
