WARNING: Never ride your motorcycle
when the drive chain is in poor condi-
tion or improperly adjusted. Failure to
heed this warning can lead to, among
other things, rear wheel lockup with
subsequent upset and serious injury or
even death. Before riding, always check
the chain adjustment according to the
procedures shown in this paragraph. If
necessary, have the chain adjusted by
your MV Agusta dealer.
WARNING: If any chain link is flattened or
seized, you must correctly lubricate the
chain according to the procedures
shown in the following paragraph. Failure
to heed this warning can lead to, among
other things, rear wheel lockup with sub-
sequent upset and serious injury or even
death.
WARNING: If you notice damage or
excessive wear of the chain and the
related sprockets, have them replaced
by an authorized MV Agusta dealer.
Every time the chain is replaced, you
must always replace the front and rear
sprockets too. Failure to heed this war-
ning can lead to, among other things,
rear wheel lockup with subsequent
upset and serious injury or even death.
WARNING: Never use a chain with a fake
link. An uncompletely riveted or fake
link can accidentally split open and
cause accidents, with subsequent
serious injury or even death, as well as
damage to the engine.
WARNING: Every time it is requested to
operate the rear wheel hub screws, con-
tact an authorized MV Agusta dealer. In
order to tighten the screws, apply a tigh-
tening torque equal to the value shown
in the label placed on the swingarm (see
paragraph §2.2.). Applying a torque
higher than the indicated value can
cause the fast decay of the rear wheel
hub, compromising the reliability of the
vehicle and the safety of the pilot and
the passenger, with subsequent risk of
serious injury or even death.
