(5) Check the wheel alignment: In order to maintain
the correct alignment of the chain and the wheel,
concave scale marks are engraved on the chain
adjusters on the left and right sides of the rear wheel.
Please check and ensure that the concave scale
marks on both sides of the chain are at the same
level of scale marks, and confirm the parallelism of
the shaft and the flatness of the chain wheel, as
shown in the figure below. (Note: A ruler or rope can
also be used to check the wheel alignment for
correctness.)
Wrong operation
example
(6) Tighten the left and right lock nuts. Re-tighten the
rear axle nut with a tightening torque of 100-140N.m.
Correct operation
example
Check the wheel alignment again and check the
looseness of the chain at the tightest position of the
chain. Readjust if necessary.
Warning
Misalignment of the wheels causes abnormal wear
and may result in the motorcycle being driven
dangerously.
Note
When a new chain is installed, both chain wheels
must be checked for wear and replaced if necessary.
During the periodic inspection, the chain shall be
inspected for the following conditions:
(1) Loose pin
(2) Damaged roller
(3) Dry and rusty chain joints
(4) Twisted or seized chain joints
(5) Excessive damage
