stand.
○
Clean the chain if it is dirty, and lubricate it if it appears
dry.
•
Check the wheel alignment (see Wheel Alignment Inspec-
tion).
•
Rotate the rear wheel to find the position where the chain
is tightest.
•

between the sprockets.
If the chain slack exceeds the standard, adjust it.

Turn the chain adjusting nuts [E] forward or rearward until
the drive chain has the correct amount of chain slack.
To keep the chain and wheel properly aligned, the left
rear position [F] of the hole should align with the same
graduation that the right rear position aligns with.

Misalignment of the wheel will result in abnormal
wear and may result in an unsafe riding condition.
•
Tighten both chain adjuster locknuts securely.
•
Tighten the axle nut (Wheels/Tires chapter).

When inserting the cotter pin, if the slots in the nut do
not align with the cotter pin hole in the axle shaft, tighten
the nut clockwise [A] up to next alignment.
○
It should be within 30 degree.
○
Loosen once and tighten again when the slot goes past
the nearest hole.
