adjust the chain slack while it is in this tightest
position.
To check the drive chain slack, all tires must be
touching the ground and there should be no weight
on it. Check the drive chain slack at the position
shown in the illustration Normal slack is approxi-
mately 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in). If the slack
exceeds 20 mm (0.79 in), adjust it to specification.
