CHAIN:

The Husaberg motorcycle is delivered with a
chain of X-ring type. If properly serviced it will
last for a long period.
Always keep the chain well cleaned and
lubricated and make sure that the chain is
properly tensioned.
Always make sure that the chain is not showing
any signs of wear that may cause it to break or
causing damages to the front- and/or rear
sprocket. With the chain tensioned, the
maximum wear as shown (Fig. 10F).

Chain lubrication:

Remove the rear wheel (see "WHEELS &
BRAKES - WHEELS").
Remove the swingarm (see "SUSPENSION -
SWINGARM").
After cleaning of the removed chain; use a
suitable solvent, wipe it off with a clean and dry
cloth.
Lubricate the chain by using a well-known brand
of O-ring lubrication.
Assembly in reverse order of disassembly.

Sprockets:

Always check the front- and rear sprocket for
any wear that may cause damages to the chain
(Fig. 10G).
Whereafter changing to a new O-ring chain,
always follow the recommendations of the
supplier regarding maintenance and wear limits.

Chain tension control:

Control of the tension is done when the bike is
in an upright, unloaded, position (wheels on the
ground and no centerstand used).
Press the chain upwards, using just a minor
force. When properly tensioned you should be
able to just barely touch the swingarm protection
at the position as shown (Fig. 10H-1) with the
chain.
Chain tension adjustment:
Undo the rear wheel axle by slacking off the
nut (Fig. 10I-1, wrench No.27 ).
Release the two lock nuts of the chain
tensioners on each side of the swingarm (Fig.
10I-2, wrench No.13).
Adjust the chain with the chain tensioner bolts
(Fig. 10I-3, wrench No.13) to a correct tension
on both sides. Measure the distances in
between the swingarm shaft and the rear wheel
shaft on each side of the motorcycle and make
sure that the distances are exactly the same.
Tighten the lock nuts of the chain tensioners.
Tighten the rear wheel axle.
