1990-1995 DR650 Drive Chain
CHECKING
Pull out the cotter pin (For Canada and U.S.A.).
Loosen the axle nut.
Tense the drive chain fully by turning the right and left chain adjusters.
Count out 21 pins (20 pitches) on the chain and measure the distance between the two points If the distance exceeds the service limit, the chain must be replaces.
Sever Limit: 319.4mm (12.57in)
ADJUSTING
Place the motorcycle on its side-stand for accurate adjustment.
Turn both chain adjusters until the chain has 20-40mm (0.8-1.6in) of slack at the middle between engine and rat sprockets. The number on both chain adjusters must be at the same number to ensure that the front and rear wheels are correctly aligned.
Drive chain slack: 20-40mm (0.8-1.6in)
After adjusting the drive chain, tighten the axle nut to the specified torque. Always use a new cotter pin (For Canada and U.S.A.).
Tightening torque: | 50-80N·m (5.0-8.0kg-m, 58.0 lb-ft) |
CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
Wash the drive chain with kerosene. If the chain tends to rust faster, the intervals muct be shortened.
CAUTION:
Do not use trichlene, gasoline or any similar fluids:
These fluids have too great a dissolving power for this chain and , what is more important, can damage the O-rings (or seals) confining the grease in the bush -to-pin clearance. Remember, high durability comes from the presence of grease in that clearance.
After washing and drying the chain, oil it with a heavy-weight motor oil.
CAUTION:
do not use any oil sold commercially as "drive chain oil". Such oil too can damage the O-rings (or seals). The standard drive chain is DAIDO D.I.D. 520VC-5 or TAKASAGO RK520SO. SUZUKI recommends that this standard drive chain be used for the replacement.
