drive chain

The drive chain must be inspected and lubricated
regularly. Inspect the chain more frequently if you
often ride on bad roads, ride at high speed, or ride
with repeated fast acceleration (page 47).
If the chain does not move smoothly, makes strange
noises, has damaged rollers, has loose pins, or kinks,
have the chain inspected by your dealer.
Also inspect the drive sprocket and driven sprocket. If
either has worn or damaged teeth, have the sprocket
replaced by your dealer.

 cleaning and Lubricating
After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and
sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use dry cloth
with chain cleaner designed specifically for O-ring
chains, or neutral detergent. Use a soft brush if the
chain is dirty.
After cleaning, wipe dry and lubricate with the
recommended lubricant.
Recommended lubricant:
drive chain lubricant
If not available, use sAE 80 or 90 gear oil
Never use petrol or
low flash point solvents
for cleaning the drive
chain.
A fire or explosion
could result.
Avoid getting lubricant
on the brakes or tyres.
Avoid applying excess
chain lubricant to prevent spray onto your clothes
and the motorcycle.
