Drive chain slackThe drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU97540
To check the drive chain slack 1. Place the motorcycle on the sides- tand.TIPWhen checking and adjusting the drive
chain slack, there should be no weighton the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position.
3. Find the center point of the chain (position B) by measuring (approx.
53 mm (2.09 in)) forward from the
edge of the drive chain guard as
shown. 4. Push down on the center of the
drive chain and measure the dis-
tance A from the drive chain guard
to the middle of the chain link being
pressed down at position B. 5. If distance A is incorrect, adjust it
as follows. NOTICE: Improper
drive chain slack will overload
the engine as well as other vital
parts of the motorcycle and can
lead to chain slippage or break-
age. If distance A is more than
55.0 mm (2.17 in), the chain can
damage the frame, swingarm,
and other parts. To prevent this
from occurring, keep the drive
chain slack within the specified
limits.
