Drive Chain - Honda CB750F2 Owner's Manual

DRIVE CHAIN
(Refer to the maintenance precautions on
page50 ).
The service life of the drive chain is
dependent upon proper lubrication and
adjustment. Poor maintenance can cause
premature wear or damage to the drive
chain and sprockets.
The drive chain should be checked and
lubricated as part of the Pre-ride
Inspection (page 34 ). Under severe usage,
or when the motorcycle is ridden in
unusually dusty or muddy areas, more
frequent maintenance will be necessary.
Inspection:
1. Turn the engine off, place the motorcy-
cle on its side stand and shift the
transmission into neutral.
2. Check slack in the lower drive chain
run midway between the sprockets.
Drive chain slack should be adjusted to
allow the following vertical movement
by hand:
3 0 - 4 0 m m ( 1 . 2 - 1 . 6 i n )
60
3. Rotate the rear wheel. Stop. Check t
drive chain slack. Repeat this proc
several times. Drive chain slack
remain constant. If the chain is
only in certain sections, some links
kinked and binding. Binding a
kinking can frequently be eliminated
lubrication.
