Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes required to inspect and service motorcycle driveline systems. It involves preparing for the task, servicing and adjusting the chain and sprocket, belt and driveshaft drive systems, reporting the inspection findings, and completing workplace processes and documentation.
It applies to those working in the motorcycle service and repair industry. The driveline systems include those of motorcycles and motor scooters, and include road, off-road, agricultural or race motorcycles.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

inspection procedures for driveline systems, including:
chain free play
gear tooth condition
drive shaft backlash
service and adjustment procedures for driveline systems, including:
servicing and adjusting chain tension and wheel alignment
measuring and adjusting belt tension and wheel alignment
lubricating shaft drives
post-service testing procedures for motorcycle driveline systems.
Assessment Conditions
Assessors must satisfy NVR/ AQTF assessor requirements.
Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.
Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.
Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the motorcycle driveline systems that they have worked on, e.g. repair orders.
Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.
The following resources must be made available:
motorcycle repair workplace or simulated workplace
workplace instructions
manufacturer driveline system specifications
three different motorcycles with the driveline systems specified in the performance evidence requiring servicing
tools, equipment and materials appropriate for inspecting and servicing motorcycle driveline systems.
