CHECKING THE WEAR OF THE CHAIN
AND SPROCKETS
In addition to the check, see page 109
(CHECKING THE PLAY), every 6,250 mi
(10,000 km) inspect the chain and
sprockets to make sure that there are no:
– damaged rollers;
– loose pins;
– dry, rusty, crushed or seized links;
– excessive wear;
– missing O rings;
– sprocket or teeth excessively worn or
damaged.
You may check the wear of the chain and
sprocket by grasping the chain where it
touches the rear sprocket, and pulling it
away from the sprocket as far as you can.
If you are able to pull the chain far enough
away from the sprocket so that you can
see light between the side plates of the
chain and the sprocket teeth, the chain and
sprocket are worn out and should be
replaced.
NOTE Always replace both sprockets
and the chain when any of these
components are replaced.
CAUTION
If chain rollers are damaged, the pins
and/or the O rings are loose or missing,
both sprockets as well as the chain
must be replaced.
CAUTION
Lubricate the chain frequently,
especially if it is rusty or dry to the
touch. If, after lubricating the chain, it
still has links which cannot be turned
easily, the chain must be replaced.
u Check the wear of U-shaped chain guide
(6).
u Finally, check the wear of the swinging
arm protection shoe (7).
