Wear Inspection:
Check the chain wear label on the left-hand swing arm
when adjusting the chain. If the arrow mark(6) is in the
red zone(5) after adjusting the slack to the proper
amount, then the chain is worn and requires
replacement.
Replacement Chain (stock sprocket): DID525V8 or
RK525SMOZ5
Adjustment:
1. Place the motorcycle on it's side stand with the
transmission in neutral.
2. Loosen the axle nut(1).
3. Turn both adjusting bolts(2) an equal number of turns
until the correct drive chain slack is obtained.
(counterclockwise to tighten chain) Roll the motorcycle
forward and check tension again. Then check that the
axle is aligned by making sure the index marks(3) align
with the scales(4) on both sides of the swing arm.
4. Tighten axle nut to 69 ft-lbs (93 N-m) torque.
Sprockets:
Check the rear sprocket for excessively worn teeth or
broken and missing teeth. Use the diagram to the left as
a guide. Do this more often if your bike has an aluminum
rear sprocket instead of steel.
