Check Drive Chain Tension - Ducati DIAVEL Owner's Manual

Check drive chain tension

Important
Have chain tension adjusted by a Ducati Dealer
or authorised Service Centre.
Make the rear wheel turn until you find the position
where chain is tightest.
Set the vehicle on the side stand. Push down the
chain at the point of measurement and release.
Measure the distance between the "aperture" upper
profile and pin centre.
The read distance must be: 9 ÷ 11 mm.
Important
If drive chain is too tight or slack, adjust tension
so as to bring values back to the specified range.
9 ÷ 11 mm
