TRANSMISSION CHAIN

Check At the pre-delivery, at the first 1000
kilometres and then every 6000 kilo-
metres.
Substitute Every 12000 km
Place the motorcycle on the rear stand.
The chain tension check should be effectuated with the
motorcycle having a static set-up quota equal to the
standard value (see chapter F "Suspension and
wheels").
The axis of the chain lower portion must be 50 mm
from the lower chain guard.
Manually turn the rear wheel and perform the check at
different points along the chain.
As the wheel is turned, the play should remain virtual-
ly the same. If, on the other hand, the play of the chain
varies considerably, it means that some of the links are
flattened, jammed or elongated.
Visually check the transmission chain for the following
defects:
• Slack pins
• Damaged rollers
• Dry and rusty links
• Bent or seized links
The chain must be substituted if any one of these
defects is found.
When substituting the transmission chain, substitute
also the crown and pinion wheel.
For the substitution of the chain, pinion, crown wheel and
to check the wear of the chain guide, follow the sequence
described in chapter F "Suspension and wheels".
