whole chain assembly (sprocket, chain and
ring gear) must be replaced.

LUBRICATION AND CLEANING
The chain should always be kept well lubricat-
ed and must be cleaned especially after having
been off road with mud or sand. Whenever there
are dry or rusted parts, if there are crushed or
bound links, the chain must be lubricated and
the deteriorated parts restored to working condi-
tion. It this is impossible, consult a Dealer.
Do not clean the chain with jets of water or
steam, high-pressure water jets or highly in-
flammable solvents.
See the LUBRICANTS table on page 159 for
products recommended for lubricating and
cleaning the chain.
