Drive Chain - Honda CB UNICORN DAZZLER 2010 Owner's Manual

Drive chain

Refer to the safety precautions on page 40.
The service life of the drive chain is dependent
upon proper lubrication and adjustment. Poor
maintenance can cause premature wear or
damage to the drive chain and sprockets.
The drive chain should be checked and
lubricated as part of the pre-ride Inspection
(page 33). Under severe usage, or when the
vehicle is ridden in unusually dusty or muddy
areas, more frequent maintenance will be
necessary.
Inspection:
1. Turn the engine off, place the vehicle
on its center stand, and shift the
transmission into neutral.
2. Move the chain (1) up and down with
your finger. Drive chain slack should
be adjusted approximately to allow the
following vertial movement by hand:
30-40 mm (1.18-1.60 in)
3. Rotate the rear wheel slightly and then
stop to check the drive chain slackness
again. Repeat this procedure several
times. Drive chain slack should remain
constant.If the chain is slack only in
certain sections, some links are kinked
and binding, kinking can be eliminated
by lubrication.
