Drive Chain Slack Adjustment
Loosen the rear axle nut just enough to move the rear
wheel fore and aft.
Turn the adjuster equally on both sides until the correct
drive chain tension is obtained.
Turning the adjuster counterclockwise will decrease slack
and turning it clockwise will increase slack.
y Adjust the chain with the chain adjusters so that it is
parallel with the center line of the frame.
y Check that the stopper is between the teeth of the
adjuster.
Recheck the drive chain slack and free wheel rotation.
After adjustment, tighten the axle nut to the specified
torque.
Torque: 69 N•m (7.0 kgf•m, 51 lbf•ft)
Lubricate the drive chain.
Hook the drive chain tensioner spring.

Drive Chain Slack Inspection
During the break-in period, drive chain slack should be
checked and adjusted often. This also applies to after
drive chain replacement.
Regular cleaning, lubrication, and proper adjustment will
help to extend the service life of the drive chain.
Shift the transmission into neutral, turn the engine off and
support the motorcycle on its side stand.
Unhook the drive chain tensioner spring to remove any
load on the chain.
Measure chain slack at the lower section midway between
the sprockets.
Drive chain slack: 25 – 35 mm (1.0 – 1.4 in)
Rotate the wheel and check the chain slack in several
sections.If slack in one section increases beyond the
standard measurement, this indicates the chain has
stretched and needs to be replaced.
Take care to prevent catching your fingers between the
chain and sprocket.
