Chain adjustment

[mike nash]

I don't have a manual and need help on torque specs and procedure. I know it's simple but dealer never gave me a manual. Thanks for any and all info.

Clean chain with kerosene only. after washing and drying, oil the links with chain lube. To adjust.. Loosen the 4 rear housing bolts. Turn the chain adjuster bolt -- on rear of swingarm-- until the chain has 1.2 - 1.6 inches of slack, between the chain buffer and rear sprocket. then Tighten the rear housing bolts to 72.5 lb-ft.. then tighten the adjuster bolt to 21.5 lb-ft. Depending how much you ride later down the road.. you will need a new chain.
