Checking the chain tension (fig. 54.1) Slowly move the motorcycle to determine the position at which the chain is most taut. Rest the motorcycle on its sidestand. At the front of the side chain guard, check the distance between the swingarm and the middle of the links in the bottom run of the chain. The distance must be between 38 and 42 mm, as shown on the label on the swingarm. If it is not, adjust the chain tension accordingly. E Important Have the chain tensioned at a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre. 38 ÷ 42 mm fig. 54.1 Warning Correct tightening of the swingarm bolts (1, fig. 54.2) is essential to rider and passenger safety. Important An incorrectly tensioned chain will cause the rapid wear of transmission parts. 1 fig. 54.2 66
