How to change the handlebar position
The handlebar position can be readjusted by 22 mm (0.9 in). The upper tri-
ple clamp 1 includes 2 bores arranged at a distance of 15 mm (0,6 in) from
one another. The bores at the handlebar support
2 are offset from the cen-
ter by 3.5 mm (0,13 in). Accordingly, you can mount the handlebar in
4 different positions.
For this purpose, remove screws
3 of the handlebar clamps and screws 4
of the handlebar support. Position handlebar support, and tighten screws 4
to 40 Nm (30 ft.lb). Mount handlebar and handlebar clamps, and tighten
screws
3 to 20 Nm (15 ft.lb). The gap between handlebar support and
handlebar clamps is to be of equal size in the front and in the rear.
Check chain tension
Put the motorcycle on the sidestand.
Chain tension has to be checked close to the lower rear shock mounting
A.
When pushing the chain upwards, the distance to the swingarm has to be
10 mm (0.4 in).
If necessary, correct chain tension.
WARNING
–I
F CHAIN TENSION IS TOO GREAT, PARTS WITHIN THE SECONDARY TRANSMISSION
(CHAIN
, CHAIN WHEELS,
GEAR BOX AND REAR WHEEL BEARINGS
) WILL BE SUBJECTED
TO UNNECESSARY STRESS
,
RESULTING IN PREMATURE WEAR AND EVEN CHAIN BREAKAGE
.
–TOO MUCH SLACK IN THE CHAIN, ON THE OTHER HAND, CAN RESULT IN THE CHAIN
JUMPING OFF THE CHAIN WHEELS
. I
F THIS HAPPENS
, THE CHAIN COULD ALSO BLOCK
THE REAR WHEEL OR DAMAGE THE ENGINE
.
–I
N EITHER CASE THE OPERATOR IS LIKELY TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
Correct chain tension
Release the hexagon nut of the wheel spindle 5 and turn the left and the
right hexagon nut
6 equally far.
Before tightening the hexagon nut of the wheel spindle with 30 Nm
(22 ft.lb), ensure that the supporting plates
7 are resting against the swing
arm. Additionally, check that the rear wheel is aligned with the front wheel.
Chain maintenance
For long chain life, good maintenance is very important. Chains without
O-rings should be cleaned in fireproof solvent regularly and afterwards
treated with hot grease or chain spray (Shell Advance Bio Chain).
WARNING
KEEP THE REAR WHEEL FREE OF GREASE! GREASE ON THE REAR WHEEL WILL SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCE THE GRIP OF THE REAR TIRE AND THE MOTORCYCLE COULD EASILY GET OUT OF CONTROL
.
!
CAUTION
!
WHEN MOUNTING THE CHAIN MASTERLINK CLIP, THE CLOSED SIDE OF THE MASTERLINK
CLIP MUST POINT IN RUNNING DIRECTION
.
Also check sprockets and chain guides for wear, and replace if necessary.
