Cleaning and Lubricating
After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and
sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use a
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.
Do not use a steam cleaner, a high pressure
cleaner, a wire brush, volatile solvent such as
petrol and benzene, abrasive cleaner, chain
cleaner or lubricant NOT designed specifically
for O-ring chains as these can damage the
rubber O-ring seals.
Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres.
Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent
spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.
Pro Honda HP coolant is a pre-mixed solution of
antifreeze and distilled water.
A concentration of antifreeze below 40% will
not provide proper corrosion and cold
temperature protection.
Recommended lubricant:
Drive chain lubricant designed
specifically for O-ring chains.
If not available, use SAE 80 or 90 gear oil.
Recommended Coolant
Concentration:
50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water
