Checking drive chain tension

Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or Authorized Service Center.
Turn the rear wheel until you find the position where
chain is tightest. Set the vehicle on the side stand.
With just a finger, push down the chain at the point
of measurement and release. Measure the distance
(A) between the center of the chain pins and the
aluminum section of the swinging arm. It must be: A
= 1.10 ÷ 1.18 in (28 ÷ 30 mm).
Important
If the drive chain is too tight or too slack, adjust
it so that tension reading will fall within specified
range.
