Maintenance and Adjustment
• Rotate the rear wheel and repeat the
chain adjustment check. Re-adjust if
necessary.
• Check the rear brake effectiveness.
Chain Wear Inspection
1. Measure across 20 links
2. Weight
• Remove the chain guard.
• Stretch the chain taut by hanging a
10 - 20 kg (20 - 40 lb) weight on the
chain.
• Measure the length of 20 links on
the straight part of the chain from
pin centre of the 1
st
pin to the centre
of the 21
st
pin. Since the chain may
wear unevenly, take measurements
at several places.
• If the length exceeds the maximum
service limit of 321 mm, the chain
must be replaced.
• Rotate the rear wheel and inspect
the drive chain for damaged rollers,
and loose pins and links.
Operation of the motorcycle with a loose
wheel spindle may result in impaired
stability and handling of the motorcycle.
This impaired stability and handling may
lead to loss of control or an accident.
