EAS2GC1217REMOVING THE SWINGARM
1. Use a suitable stand to raise the rear wheel off the ground.
EWA
WARNING
Securely support the vehicle so that there is
no danger of it falling over.
2. Measure:• Swingarm side play
• Swingarm vertical movement
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Measure the tightening torque of the pivot shaft nut.
b. Measure the swingarm side play “a” by mov- ing the swingarm from side to side.
c. If the swingarm side play is out of specifica- tion, check the spacers, the bearings, and
the collars.
d. Check the swingarm vertical movement “b” by moving the swingarm up and down.
If swingarm vertical movement is not smooth
or if there is binding, check the spacers, the
bearings, and the collars.

EAS23420REMOVING THE DRIVE CHAIN
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
EWA
WARNING
Securely support the vehicle so that there is
no danger of it falling over.
TIP
Place the vehicle on a suitable stand so that the
rear wheel is elevated.
2. Remove:•Drive chain
TIP
Cut the drive chain with the drive chain cut &
rivet tool. (Use goods on the market)
EAS23441CHECKING THE DRIVE CHAIN
1. Measure:• 15-link section of the drive chain
Out of specification  Replace the drive
chain.
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Measure the length “a” between the inner sides of the pins and the length “b” between
the outer sides of the pins on a 15-link sec-
tion of the drive chain as shown in the illus-
tration.
b. Calculate the length “c” of the 15-link section of the drive chain using the following formu-
la.
Drive chain 15-link section length “c” =
(length “a” between pin inner sides + length
“b” between pin outer sides)/2
TIP
• When measuring a 15-link section of the drive chain, make sure that the drive chain is taut.
• Perform this procedure 2–3 times, at a differ-
ent location each time.

2. Check: •Drive chain
Stiffness  Clean, lubricate, or replace.
3. Clean: •Drive chain
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Wipe the drive chain with a clean cloth.
b. Put the drive chain in kerosene and remove any remaining dirt.
c. Remove the drive chain from the kerosene and completely dry it.
ECA
NOTICE
• This vehicle has a drive chain with small
rubber O-rings “1” between the drive
chain side plates. Never use high-pressure
water or air, steam, gasoline, certain sol-
vents (e.g., benzine), or a coarse brush to
clean the drive chain. High-pressure meth-
ods could force dirt or water into the drive
chain’s internals, and solvents will deteri-
orate the O-rings. A coarse brush can also
damage the O-rings. Therefore, use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain.
• Do not soak the drive chain in kerosene for more than ten minutes, otherwise the O-
rings can be damaged.
