MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Drive Chain

Always inspect the drive chain before operating the vehicle. Check for

damaged or missing o-rings or damaged rollers. Check for correct slack

adjustment. Maintain the stone guard-to-rear sprocket clearance at 3

mm. Lubricate the outer surfaces of the roller regularly.
Lubricate the drive chain as outlined in the Lubrication Chart on page

65.
High pressure water may damage components. Do not use high

pressure water. See page 99.

Rear Drive Chain Slack

Adjusting or operating the vehicle with improper rear drive chain slack

can result in severe damage to the transmission and drive components.

Always make sure the slack is within the stated specifications.
Check the amount of chain slack

in three different locations by

moving the vehicle slightly

forward. Measure the chain slack

at the tightest of the three

positions. At this point the chain

should have 4.8-9.5 mm

deflection.
Use the following procedure if

adjustment is required.
1. Loosen the chain guide.
2. Loosen the two eccentric

locking bolts (1).

3. Loosen the caliper mounting

bolt located on the left side

of the swing arm.

4. Insert a pin punch (2)

through the sprocket hub

and into the eccentric

housing.

4.8 - 9.5 mm
