ADJUSTING THE DRIVE BELT SLACK
CAUTION:
ACHTUNG:
A drive belt that is too tight will overload
the engine and other vital parts, and one
that is too loose can skip and damage the
swingarm or cause an accident. Therefore,
keep the drive belt slack within the speci-
fied limits.
NOTE:
Measure the drive belt slack when the
engine is cold, and when the drive belt is
dry.
