● The service life of drive chain is
dependent upon proper lubrication and
adjustment. Poor maintenance can
cause premature wear or damage to the
drive chain and sprocket.
●
The drive chain should be checked and
lubricated as part of the Pre-ride
Inspection.
●
Under severe usage, or when the
vehicle is ridden in unusually dusty or
muddy areas, more frequent main-
tenance will be necessary.
<INSPECTION>

upright position on the main stand and
