each \fide of the \fwingarm in di-
rection (a). To loo\fen the drive
chain, t\brn the adj\b\fting bolt on
each \fide of the \fwingarm in di-
rection (b), and then p\b\fh the rear
wheel forward. NOTICE: Improp-
er drive chain slack will over-
load the engine as well as other
vital parts of the motorcycle
and can lead to chain slippage
or breakage. To prevent this
from occurring, keep the drive
