Hi everybody,

I would like to know how to adjust the tension of the transmission drive chain of my Mantra.

The owner manual says there is a sticker on the swingarm wich figures the procedure.

But I have nothing on mine.

I would like to know the distance between the chain and the swingarm.

The procedure is different than a ducati M900.

Tanks

I use a steel ruler and measure from the end of the swingarm to the start of the adjuster block - when they are both the same measurement and the chain tension is correct, I hold the bottom run of the chain tightly towards the swingarm and tighten the axle.
