For safety and to prevent excessive wear, the drive chain must be checked, adjusted, and lubricated be- fore riding. If the chain becomes badly worn or mal-adjusted either too loose or too tight- it could jump off the sprockets or break.
WARNING
A chain that breaks or jumps off the Sprockets could snag on the engine sprocket or lock the rear wheel, severely damaging the motorcycle and causing it to go out of control. In- spect the chain for damage and proper adjustment before each ride.

Chain Wear Inspection
When the chain has reached its wear limit (i.e., when it has stretched by 1.7% of its original length), it is no longer safe for use and should be replaced. Since it is impractical to measure the entire length of the chain, determine the degree of wear by measuring a 20-ink section of the chain.
A. Bolts
B. Chain Cover
A. Weight
B. Tape Measure
