Checking Drive Chain Tension - Ducati Diavel Carbon ABS Owner's Manual

Checking drive chain tension

Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Centre.
Make the rear wheel turn until you find the position where
chain is tightest.
Set the vehicle on the side stand. Push down the chain at the
point of measurement and release.
Measure the distance between the "aperture" upper profile
and pin centre.
The read distance must be: 9 ÷ 11 mm.
Important
If the drive chain is too tight or too slack, adjust it so
that tension reading will fall within specified range.
