Checking drive chain tension
Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or Authorized Service Center.
Turn the rear wheel slowly to find the position at
which the chain is at its most taut. With the
motorcycle on its side stand, press with a finger in
the center of the bottom run of the chain and
measure the distance between the centers of chain
link pins and the aluminum swingarm. The distance
should be within 1.81÷1.89 in (46÷48 mm).
Important
If the drive chain is too tight or too slack, adjust
it so that tension reading will fall within specified
range.
