1.11. Checking and lubricating the drive chain
To perform this operation, you must put the motorcycle
on the rear stand, upright on a horizontal surface and
with the gear in neutral.
Checking the chain adjustment
WARNING: Before checking the chain adjust-
ment, contact a MV Agusta authorized centre
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 108 mm 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, on
the other hand, the play on the chain varies considerably,
it means that some chain links are flattened, seized or
elongated. If the distance is greater than 108 mm, have
the chain adjusted by your local MV Agusta dealer.
