N. ADJUSTING THE DRIVE CHAIN
SLACK
The drive chain slack must be checked at
the tightest point on the chain.
A drive chain that is too tight will over-
load the engine and other vital parts,
and one that is too loose can skip and
damage the swingarm or cause an acci-
dent. Therefore, keep the drive chain
slack within the specified limits.
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
Securely support the vehicle so that
there is no danger of it falling over.
Both wheels should be on the ground with-
out a rider on the vehicle.
2. Rotate the rear wheel several times
and check the drive chain to locate its
tightest point.
3. Measure:
• drive chain slack (a)
Out of specification → Adjust.
Drive chain slack
20–30 mm (0.79–1.18 in)
a
4. Loosen:
• wheel axle nut (1)
5. Adjust:
• drive chain slack
a. Loosen both locknuts (2).
b. Turn both adjusting bolts (3) in direc-
tion (a) or (b) until the specified drive
chain slack is obtained.
Direction (a)
Drive chain is tightened.
Direction (b)
Drive chain is loosened.
To maintain the proper wheel alignment,
adjust both sides evenly.
