MAINTENANCE
6.10. Checking and lubricating the drive chain
To perform these operations, you must put the motorcy-
cle on the rear stand, upright on a horizontal surface
and with the gear in neutral.
Checking the chain adjustment
The axis of the chain lower portion must be 9 mm from
the lower chain guard. Manually turn the rear wheel and
9 mm
carry out the check at several points along the chain.
The distance between the chain and the lower chain
guard must remain constant as the wheel turns. If the
chain is only partially loosened, it means that some
chain links are flattened or seized. If the distance is
greather than 9 mm, have the chain adjusted by your
local MV Agusta dealer.

NOTE: On request, it is possible to order to the MV
Agusta Spare Parts Service a special elongated
upper chain cover. The assembly of this component
on your motorcycle gives a better protection than a
standard component.
