Chapter 1 Tune-up and routine maintenance

1-13

10.8 The XV700 through 1100 can be

adjusted with a screw on the side of

the engine

11.3 Look through the viewing hole to

measure chain slack

11.8 Remove the cotter pin and loosen

the axle nut; the vertical lines in the

frame below the nut are used for

chain adjustment

11.9 Loosen and hold the locknut and turn the adjusting bolt to

adjust chain slack

All models

9 Recheck freeplay at the clutch lever and make further

adjustments (if necessary) with the adjuster at the lever. If freeplay still

can't be adjusted within the Specifications, the cable may be stretched

or the clutch may be worn. Refer to Chapter 2 for inspection and repair

procedures.

11 Drive chain and sprockets (chain drive models) -

check, adjustment and lubrication

1 The drive chain on models so equipped is completely enclosed in

a housing and operates in grease, so periodic lubrication isn't

necessary. If the chain appears dry during inspection, refer to Chapter

5 and remove it for inspection.

Check

Refer to illustration 11.3

2 To check the chain, place the bike on its centerstand and shift the

transmission into Neutral. Make sure the ignition switch is off.

3 Pry the cover from the large hole at the lower front of the rear

sprocket housing (see illustration).

4 Push up on the bottom run of the chain and measure the slack.

Do this every inch or so along the chain until you find the tightest point.

5 Pry the chain up and down and measure its movement, then

compare your measurements to the value listed in this Chapter's

Specifications. If the bike is equipped with a scale next to the viewing

hole (see illustration 11.3), the center pins of the chain should stay

between the marks. As wear occurs, the chain will actually stretch,

which means adjustment usually involves removing some slack from

the chain.

6 The chain should be replaced at the specified mileage interval

(see Chapter 5). '"

Adjustment

Refer to illustrations 11.8 and 11.9

7 If you haven't already done so, rotate the rear wheel until the

chain is positioned with the least amount of slack present.

8 Remove the cotter pin from the axle nut and loosen the nut (see

illustration).

9 Loosen and back-off the locknuts on the adjuster bolts (see

illustration).

10 Turn the axle adjusting nut on both sides of the swingarm until the

proper chain tension is obtained (get the adjuster on the chain side

close, then set the adjuster on the opposite side). Be sure to turn the

adjusting nuts evenly to keep the rear wheel in alignment. If the

adjusting nuts reach the end of their travel, the chain is excessively

worn and should be replaced with a new one (see Chapter 5).

11 When the chain has the correct amount of slack, make sure the

marks on the adjusters correspond to the same relative marks on each

side of the swingarm. Tighten the axle nut to the torque listed in the

Chapter 6 Specifications, then install a new cotter pin and bend it

properly. If necessary, turn the nut an additional amount to line up the

cotter pin hole with the castellations in the nut - don't loosen the nut to

' do this.

12 Tighten the chain adjuster locknuts securely.

12 Final drive oil (shaft drive models) - check and change

1 Final drive oil level should be checked and changed at intervals

specified in Section 1.

Check

Refer to illustrations 12.3, 12.4a and 12.4b

2 Support the bike securely in a level position. Warning: The final

drive unit may be hot enough to cause burns. Wait until the final drive

unit is cool to the touch before checking the level.
