Inspecting the Drive Chain Slack
Check the drive chain slack at several points along the chain. If the slack is not constant at all points, some links may be kinked and binding.
Have the chain inspected by your dealer.
Shift the transmission to Neutral. Stop the engine.
Place your vehicle on its centre stand on a firm, level surface.
Push the lower part of the drive chain down and check the chain slack between the drive chain and swing-arm at the end of the drive chain slider.
