The protruding part of the chain tensioner must not be longer than 15 mm. If it is, the chain must be changed.
8. Check the wear on chain sprockets and chain guide.
Chain guide wear must not be so great that the chain acts on the surface between the outer tracks.
If the surface between the outer tracks shows signs of wear, they must also be replaced and the chain changed in the usual manner.
