4. Remove chain (2)

Installation Procedure

1. Install chain (2) in the reverse order of removal.

   1. Set chain (2) tension at the mid-span. Attach a pull gauge to the mid-point of the chain. Apply a pulling force of 111 ± 5 N (25 ± 1 lb) and measure the deflection of the chain. Pull chain (2) in the opposite direction with a pulling force of 111 ± 5 N (25 ± 1 lb) and measure the deflection of the chain. Add the two measurements and the resulting number should be 7 ± 3 mm (0.3 ± 0.1 inch).

   2. Tighten nut (3) to a torque of 410 ± 25 N·m (302 ± 18 lb ft).

   3. Tighten bolts (1) to a torque of 410 ± 25 N·m (302 ± 18 lb ft).

End By:

1. Install the wheel (rear). Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, Wheel (Rear) - Remove and Install for the correct procedure.
