DRIVE CHAIN

Cleaning and lubrication:

The chain must be subject to cleaning and lubrication every at

least 1.000 km (800 miles) using a special cleaning agent and

special oil designed for motorcycle drive chains. If the chain dries

up within the interval, perform the cleaning and lubrication more

frequently.

If the motorcycle is operated off the road or in dusty and muddy

environment, the chain shall be cleaned and lubricated after every

such ride. Check the chain slack (page 31) and adjust it, if required.

Chain slack adjustment:

Loosen the rear axle nut.

Loosen locking nuts on both si-

des of the swing arm and turn

both adjustment screws until

you have achieved the correct

drive chain slack.

Make sure you observe the mar-

kings on both sides of the swing

arm to set the rear axle perpen-

dicular to the swing arm.

Tighten the new self-locking nut on the rear axle to the prescri-

bed torque.

Tightening torque: 65 Nm ( 48 lbf.ft )

Tighten both locking nuts.

Check the drive chain for proper slack (page 31) and check the

rear wheel for free rotation.
