Wear Inspection
Check the chain wear label when adjusting the chain. If
the red zone (6) on the label aligns with the arrow mark
(7) on the chain adjuster plates after the chain has
been adjusted to the proper slack, the chain is
excessively worn and must be replaced. The proper
slack is:
35 – 45 mm (1.4 – 1.8 in)
Damage to the bottom part of the frame may be
caused by excessive drive chain slack of more than:
60 mm (2.4 in)
