Drive Chain - Honda CBF600S 2006 Owner's Manual

DRIVE CHAIN

Refer to the Safety Precautions on page 71.
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 56). Under severe usage, or when the
motorcycle is ridden in unusually dusty or
muddy areas, more frequent maintenance will
be necessary.
Inspection:
1. Turn the engine off, place the motorcycle on
its side stand and shift the transmission into
neutral.
2. Check slack in the lower drive chain run
midway between the sprockets.
Drive chain slack should be adjusted to
allow the following vertical movement by
hand:
25-35 mm
3. Rotate the rear wheel. Stop. Check the
drive chain slack. 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. Binding and kinking can frequently
be eliminated by lubrication.
