5.11. CHAIN

5.11.1.

DRIVE CHAIN

The vehicle is equipped with an endless chain that does not
contain a master link.
NOTE Halve maintenance intervals if you are riding in rainy
or dusty conditions, on rough road surfaces or when the
vehicle is used in competitions.
CHECKING PLAY
To check play:
Stop the engine.
Place the vehicle on the stand.
Set the gear in neutral.
Ensure that vertical oscillation, in an intermediate point
of the lower length of chain between the front and rear
sprockets, is about 25 mm (0.98 in).
Move the vehicle forward to check vertical oscillation of
the chain in other positions; play must remain constant
in all phases of wheel rotation.
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE To adjust the chain use the rear support stand OPT.
If the check determines that chain tension adjustment is
necessary:
Place the vehicle on the rear support stand.
Loosen the nut completely (1).
NOTE When centring the wheel, there are fixed references
(2-3) located in the chain tightening slider housings on the
swingarm arms, in front of the wheel shaft.
