GP 800 i.e.
- Remove the chain guard.
- Act on the rear wheel so that a link notch matches point «A».
- Tighten the chain and check that the distance between the chain link lower notch and point «A» is 38
mm ± 2 mm.
- Rotate the wheel to check the vertical oscillation of the chain in other positions; clearance should
remain constant for all the wheel rotation phases. Adjust the chain if clearance is uniform but out of the
specified limit.
To adjust the drive chain clearance:
- Loosen the wheel axle lock nut «B».
- Loosen the two screws «C» on both sides.
- Insert a pin through the holes on the planetary
gears supporting the axle and rotate them to obtain
the ideal chain tension. There are references on
the planetary gears supporting the axle, proceed
so that the reference indicated is the same on both
sides of the fork.
Drive chain cleaning
Do not wash the chain with water jets, vapour jets, high-pressure water jets and highly flammable sol-
vents. Wash the chain with fuel oil or kerosene. Maintenance operations should be more frequent if
there are signs of early rust. Lubricate the chain with a recommended product whenever necessary
after washing and drying it.
