EAS23420REMOVING THE DRIVE CHAIN
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
EWA
WARNING
Securely support the vehicle so that there is
no danger of it falling over.
TIP
Place the vehicle on a suitable stand so that the
rear wheel is elevated.
2. Remove:
•Drive chain
TIP
Cut the drive chain with the drive chain cut &
rivet tool. (Use goods on the market)
EAS23441CHECKING THE DRIVE CHAIN
1. Measure:
• 15-link section of the drive chain
Out of specification Replace the drive
chain.
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Measure the length “a” between the inner
sides of the pins and the length “b” between
the outer sides of the pins on a 15-link sec-
tion of the drive chain as shown in the illus-
tration.
b. Calculate the length “c” of the 15-link section
of the drive chain using the following formu-
la.
Drive chain 15-link section length “c” =
(length “a” between pin inner sides + length
“b” between pin outer sides)/2
TIP
• When measuring a 15-link section of the drive
chain, make sure that the drive chain is taut.
• Perform this procedure 2–3 times, at a differ-
ent location each time.

Stiffness Clean, lubricate, or replace.
3. Clean:
•Drive chain
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Wipe the drive chain with a clean cloth.
b. Put the drive chain in kerosene and remove
any remaining dirt.
c. Remove the drive chain from the kerosene
and completely dry it.
ECA
NOTICE
• This vehicle has a drive chain with small
rubber O-rings “1” between the drive
chain side plates. Never use high-pressure
water or air, steam, gasoline, certain sol-
vents (e.g., benzine), or a coarse brush to
clean the drive chain. High-pressure meth-
ods could force dirt or water into the drive
chain’s internals, and solvents will deteri-
orate the O-rings. A coarse brush can also
damage the O-rings. Therefore, use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain.
• Do not soak the drive chain in kerosene for
more than ten minutes, otherwise the O-
rings can be damaged. 15-link length limit
239.3 mm (9.42 in)

EAS2GB7222CHECKING THE DRIVE SPROCKET
1. Check:
• Drive sprocket
More than 1/4 tooth wear “a” Replace the
drive sprocket and the rear wheel sprocket
as a set.
Bent tooth Replace the drive sprocket
and the rear wheel sprocket as a set.

a. When press fitting the connecting plate “1”,
make sure the space “a” between the end of
the connecting pin “2” and the connecting
plate is 1.2–1.4 mm (0.05–0.06 in).
b. After riveting, make sure the diameter be-
tween the edges “b” of the connecting pin “2”
is 5.5–5.8 mm (0.22–0.23 in). Recommended lubricant

• Lock washer
• Drive sprocket nut
Refer to “ENGINE REMOVAL” on page 6-1.
ECA
NOTICE
Never install a new drive chain onto worn
drive chain sprockets; this will dramatically
shorten the drive chain’s life.
4. Adjust:
• Drive chain slack
Refer to “ADJUSTING THE DRIVE CHAIN
SLACK” on page 3-30.
ECA
NOTICE
A drive chain 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 chain slack within the speci-
fied limits.
Recommended lubricant
