1.11. Checking and lubricating the drive chain
To perform this operation, you must put the motorcycle
on the rear stand, upright on a horizontal surface and
with the gear in neutral.
q Checking the chain adjustment (Brutale ORO)
WARNING: Before checking the chain adjust-
ment, contact a MV Agusta authorized centre
to verify that the value of the static setup of
the rear suspension is correct. Also make
sure that the chain is properly lubricated.
The middle point of the axis of the lower chain portion
must be at a distance of 52 mm from the lower edge of
the swingarm. Manually turn the rear wheel and carry
out the check at several points along the chain. The dis-
tance between the chain and the lower chain guard
must remain almost constant as the wheel turns. If, on
the other hand, the play on the chain varies consider-
ably, it means that some chain links are flattened,
seized or elongated. If the distance is greater than 52
mm, have the chain adjusted by your local MV Agusta
dealer.
