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. With just a finger, push down the chain at the
point of measurement and release. Measure the
distance (A) between the centre of the chain pins and
the aluminium section of the swingarm: it must be A
= 50 - 52 mm (included).
