Checking drive chain tension

Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre.
Make the rear wheel turn until you find the position
where chain is tightest. Set the motorcycle on the
side stand. With just a finger, push down the chain at
the point of measurement and release. With the chain
in its rest position, measure the upward travel. It must
be: A = 40 ÷ 42 mm (1.57 ÷ 1.65 in).
Important
If drive chain is too tight or slack, adjust tension
so as to bring values back to the specified range.
