able stand under the engine.
2. Check: Drive chain slack a
In the center between the drive axle and
rear wheel axle.
Out of specification → Adjust.
NOTE:
Before checking and/or adjusting, rotate the
rear wheel through several revolutions and
check the slack several times to find the tight-
est point. Check and/or adjust chain slack with
rear wheel in this “tight chain ” position.
Drive chain slack:
35 ~ 45 mm (1.38 ~ 1.77 in)
3. Adjust:
Drive chain slack
Drive chain slack adjustment steps:
 Loosen the wheel axle nut 1 and locknuts
2 .
 Adjust chain slack by turning the adjusters

TIRE PRESSURE CHECK
1. Measure:
Tire pressure
Out of specification → Adjust.
NOTE:
Check the tire while it is cold.
 Loose bead stoppers allow the tire to slip off
its position on the rim when the tire pressure
is low.
 A tilted tire valve stem indicates that the tire
slips off its position on the rim.
 If the tire valve stem is found tilted, the tire is
considered to be slipping off its position. Cor-
rect the tire position.
Standard tire pressure:
100 kPa (1.00 kgf/cm2, 14.2 psi)
SPOKES INSPECTION AND TIGHTENING
1. Inspect:
Spokes 1
Bend/damage → Replace.
Loose spoke → Retighten.
