Fuel Filter; Final Drive Chain - EBR 1190RS 2013 Owner's Manual

should be reduced to 1500 miles (2400 km). Motorcy-
cles used only for short runs must have a thorough tank
flush out before new oil is put in. The tank flush out
should be performed by an authorized dealer or quali-
fied technician.
NOTE
The further below freezing the temperature drops, the
shorter the oil change interval should be.
Water vapor is a normal by-product of combustion in
any engine. During cold weather operation, some of the
water vapor condenses to liquid form on the cool metal
surfaces inside the engine. In freezing weather, this
water will become slush or ice, and if allowed to accu-
mulate for too long, may block the oil lines and cause
damage to the engine.
If the engine is run frequently and allowed to thorough-
ly warm up, most of this water will become vapor again
and will be blown out through the crankcase breather.
If the engine is not run frequently, and now allowed to
warm up, this water will mix with the engine oil to
form a sludge that will harm the engine.

FUEL FILTER

The fuel pump assembly located in the frame fuel cell
includes a fuel filter. The fuel filter does not require any
maintenance.
CHAIN DRIVE
See figure 52. Adjust chain to 35 mm +/- 2 mm as
shown. To adjust chain:
1. See figure 50. Loosen rear axle three turns
2. See figure 51. Turn adjusters on each side of the
swingarm evenly to adjust chain tension
3. Lift chain until it is tight and check chain tension by
measuring the distance from the bottom of a chain
link to the top of the chain rub block. Adjust dis-
tance to 35 mm +/- 2 mm as shown in figure 52.
4. Measure axle adjuster positions on both sides of the
swingarm to ensure they are even on each side of
the swingarm . This check will ensure rear sprocket
is aligned with front sprocket. See figure 50.
5. Tighten axle to 49—51 ft-lbs (66.4—69.1 Nm)
