Drive Chain

Inspecting the Drive Chain Slack
Check the drive chain slack at several points along
the chain. If the slack is not constant at all points,
some links may be kinked and binding.
Have the chain inspected by your dealer.
1. Shift the transmission to Neutral. Stop the engine.
2. Place your motorcycle on its side stand on a firm,
level surface.
3. Check the slack in the lower half of the drive chain
midway between the sprockets.
Drive chain slack:
20 to 30 mm (0.8 to 1.2 in)
Do not ride your motorcycle if the slack exceeds
50 mm (2.0 in).
4. Roll the motorcycle forward and check that the
chain moves smoothly.
5. Inspect the sprockets (page 30).
6. Clean and lubricate the drive chain (page 31).
