To properly clean the chain on the Ducati Monster 600, it is advisable to use white spirit, which is not aggressive, and dry it with compressed air. Finally, remove any traces of white spirit with a cloth. At this point, loosen the nut on the rear wheel axle and adjust the chain adjusters: unscrewing them will loosen the chain, while tightening will tension it. You should tension the chain to achieve a movement from a resting position to a tensioned position of about 25 mm. The method for measuring the movement is shown in the video.
