DRIVE CHAIN

Check the condition and tension of drive chain before every ride.

NOTE:

The chain must be cleaned and lubricated after every 1.000 km

(800 miles) using a special cleaning agent and special oil de-

signed for motorcycle drive chains. If the chain dries up within

such interval, it must be cleaned and lubricated more frequent-

ly. In case the motorcycle is operated off road or dusty or mud-

dy environment, the lubrication procedure shall be conducted

after every such ride. Chain checks must be always done with

the motorcycle free of any load.

Set the motorcycle onto side

stand, switch the ignition off

and shift the transmission to

idle. Press the chain upward

and measure its slack.

Chain slack: 25 - 35 mm (1 - 1.4 in)

Adjust the chain slack, if needed

(see the Maintenance chapter)

or ask your Blata dealer for as-

sistance.

Pull the chain at the rearmost

part of the driven sprock-

et. When the chain passes

through, none of the rear

sprocket teeth may remain

out of grip. If that is not so, the

chain set shall be replaced

(rear and front sprockets and

chain) by an authorised Blata

service centre.
