MV Agusta F3 Owner's Manual page 155

WARNING: Never ride your motorcycle
when the drive chain is in poor condi-
tion or improperly adjusted. Failure to
heed this warning can lead to, among
other things, rear wheel lockup with
subsequent loss of control of the
motorcycle, resulting in an accident,
personal injury or death. Before riding,
always check the chain adjustment
according to the procedures shown in
this section. If necessary, have the chain
adjusted by your MV Agusta dealer.
WARNING: If you notice damage or
excessive wear of the chain and the
related sprockets, have them immedia-
tely replaced by an authorized MV
6
Agusta dealer. Every time the chain is
replaced, you must always replace the
front and rear sprockets too. Failure to
heed this warning can lead to, among
other things, rear wheel lockup with sub-
sequent loss of control that could result
in serious injury or even death.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Never attempt to make
repairs to a damaged drive chain.
Defective chains must be replaced.
Repairing the chain can cause the links
or rivets to separate that could result in
loss of control and subsequent serious
injuries or even death.
CAUTION: Improper drive chain adjust-
ment or slack can lead to chain slippage
or breakage that could damage the engine
and other vital parts of your motorcycle.
WARNING: Every time it is requested to
operate the rear wheel hub screws, con-
tact an authorized MV Agusta dealer. In
order to tighten the screws, apply a tigh-
tening torque equal to the value shown
in the label placed on the swingarm (see
§2.2.). Applying a torque higher than the
indicated value can cause the prematu-
re deterioration of the rear wheel hub,
compromising the reliability of the
motorcycle and the safety of the rider.
