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-

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.
