Checking Drive Chain Tension - Ducati Monster 795 Owner's Manual

Checking drive chain tension

Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre.
Turn the rear wheel slowly to find the position at
which the chain is at its most taut. With the
motorcycle on its side stand, press with a finger in
the centre of the bottom run of the chain and
measure the distance between the centres of chain
link pins and the aluminium swingarm. The distance
should be within 39 to 41 mm.
Important
If drive chain is too tight or slack, adjust tension
so as to bring values back to the specified range.
