Drive Chain

Servicing Your Honda

Excessive chain slack may allow the drive
chain to damage the engine cases.

Check drive chain slack at several points
along the chain. The slack should remain
constant. If it isn’t, some links may be
kinked and binding. Lubricating the chain
will often eliminate binding and kinking.

Inspect the drive chain for:

damaged rollers
loose pins
dry or rusted links
kinked or binding links
excessive wear

Replace the drive chain (page

) if it has

damaged rollers, loose pins, or kinks that
cannot be freed. Lubricate the drive chain
(page

) if it appears dry or shows signs

of rust. Lubricate any kinked or binding
links and work them free. Adjust chain slack

if needed.
Check the chain slider ( ) for wear. If the
ridge ( ) in the center of the slider is worn,
have your dealer replace the chain slider.
