Ducati MONSTER 696 User Manual

Checking drive chain tension
Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre.
Turn the rear wheel slowly to find the position at
which the chain is at its most taut. With the
motorcycle on its side stand, press with a finger in
the centre of the bottom run of the chain and
measure the distance between the centres of chain
link pins and the aluminium swingarm. The distance
should be within 46 to 48 mm.
Important
If the drive chain is too tight or too slack, adjust
it so that tension reading will fall within specified
range
46 ÷ 48 mm
