64 MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
j
Drive Chain
For safety and t o prev
ent 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 th e sprockets or bre ak.
WARNING
A chain that breaks or jumps off the sprock-
ets could snag on the engine sprocket or lock
the rear wheel, severely damaging the motor-
cycle and causing it to go out of control. In-
spect the chain for damage and proper ad-
justment before each ride.
Chain Slack Insp
ection
Raise the rear wheel off th e ground, then rotate
the rear wheel to find the place where the chain is
tightest (because it wears unevenly).
Push up the dri
ve chain in the middle of the upper
chain run to measure the chain slack. The dis-
tance between the chain and the swingarm (at the
end of the cha
in slipper) should be within the stan-
dard value.
Drive Chain Slack (KLX140A/B)
Standard 35 41 mm (1.4 1.6 in.)
Drive Chain Slac k (KL
X140C)
Standard 45 51 mm (1.8 2.0 in.)
Adjust the drive chain if its slack is out of specifi-
cati
on.
A. Chain Slack
In addition to checking the slack, rotate the rear
wheel to inspect the drive chain for damaged
r
ollers, loose pins and links and the sprockets
for unevenly or excessively worn and damaged
teeth.
If there are any such defects, replace the drive
chain and/or the sprockets.
Chain Slack Adjustment
Remove the cotter pin from the rear axle nut.
Loosen the rear axle nut and both chain adjuster
locknuts.
