DRIVE CHAIN

The drive chain must be checked, adjusted, and lubricated in
accordance with the Periodic Maintenance table. If the chain becomes
badly worn or maladjusted either too loose or too tight the chain
could jump off the sprockets or break.
A chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets could snag on the
engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel, severely damaging the
motorcycle and causing it to go out of control.
Slack Inspection
The space between the chain and the swing arm at the rear of the
chain slider should be 30-50 mm.Rotate the rear wheel to find the
place where the chain is tightest (because it wears unevenly). Adjust
the drive chain if it has too much or too little slack.
(A)
In wet and muddy conditions, mud sticks to the chain and
sprockets resulting in an overly tight chain, and the chain may
break. To prevent this, adjust the chain to 30-50 mm. of space
between the chain and swing arm whenever necessary.
