Drive chain
Drive chain lubricant:
SAE 10W-30 motor oil or suit-
able chain lubricants
DRIVE CHAIN SLACK ADJUSTMENT
1. Elevate the rear wheel by placing the
suitable 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 ~ 50 mm (1.4 ~ 2.0 in)
3. Adjust:
Drive chain slack
Drive chain slack adjustment steps:
Loosen the axle nut 1.
Turn both drive chain pullers 2 the same
amount a and adjust them to the stopper
in the same position so that the drive chain
slack is within the specified limits.
CAUTION:

ADJTIRE PRESSURE CHECK/SPOKES INSPECTION AND
TIGHTENING/WHEEL INSPECTION
EC36Q000
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, 15 psi)
SPOKES INSPECTION AND TIGHTENING
1. Inspect:
Spokes 1
Bend/damage → Replace.
Loose spoke → Retighten.
2. Tighten:
Spokes
NOTE:
Be sure to retighten these spokes before and
after break-in. After a practice check spokes
for looseness.
