To perform these operations, you must put the motorcy-
cle on the rear stand, upright on a horizontal surface
and with the gear in neutral.
J Checking the chain adjustment
WARNING: Before checking the chain adjust-
ment, contact a MV Agusta authorized center
to verify that the value of the static setup of
the rear suspension is correct. Also make
sure that the chain is properly lubricated.
The axis of the chain lower portion must be 50 mm (1.97
inch) from the lower chain guard. Manually turn the rear
wheel and carry out the check at several points along
the chain. The distance between the chain and the lower
chain guard must remain almost constant as the wheel
turns. If the chain is only partially loosened, it means that
some chain links are flattened, seized or elongated. If
the distance is greather than 50 mm (1.97 inch), have
the chain adjusted by your local MV Agusta dealer.
