Chain and Sprocket Wear Inspection
1. Measure across 20 links
2. Weight
To inspect the chain and sprocket wear:
Remove the chain guards.
Stretch the chain taut by hanging a
10 - 20 kg 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 pin centre of
the 21
st
pin. Since the chain may wear
unevenly, take measurements in several
places.
If the length exceeds the maximum
service limit of 319 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 an
insecure rear hub/eccentric adjuster
clamp bolt may result in impaired
stability and handling of the
motorcycle. This impaired stability and
handling may lead to loss of control or
an accident.
It is dangerous to operate the
motorcycle with defective brakes and
you must have your authorised
Triu m p h dealer ta ke remedial action
before you attempt to ride the
motorcycle again.
Failure to take remedial action may
reduce braking efficiency leading to
loss of control or an accident.
