Periodic Maintenance Procedures

Drive Chain Wear Inspection

•

Remove the chain cover (see Swingarm Removal in the

Suspension chapter).

•

Rotate the rear wheel to inspect the drive chain for dam-

aged rollers, and loose pins and links.

If there is any irregularity, replace the drive chain.

Lubricate the drive chain if it appears dry.

•

Stretch the chain taut by hanging a 98 N (10 kg, 20 lb)

weight [A] on the chain.

•

Measure the length of 20 links [B] on the straight part [C] of

the chain from the pin center of the 1st pin to the pin center

of the 21st pin. Since the chain may wear unevenly, take

measurements at several places.

If any measurements exceed the service limit, replace the

chain. Also, replace the front and rear sprockets when the

drive chain is replaced.

Drive Chain 20-link Length

317.5 ∼ 318.2 mm (12.50 ∼ 12.53 in.)

Standard:

Service Limit: 323 mm (12.7 in.)

A chain that breaks or jumps off the sprockets

could snag on the engine sprocket or lock the

rear wheel, severely damaging the motorcycle and

causing it to go out of control. Inspect the chain for

damage and proper adjustment before each ride.

If chain wear exceeds the service limit, replace it

with the standard chain. It is an endless type and

should not be cut for installation.

Make:

DAIDO

Type:

wear or damage.
