Removal, Cleaning and Replacement:
Your motorcycle has an endless (reveted
master link) type chain. It should only be
removed or replaced by your Honda dealer.
When the drive chain becomes dirty, it should
be removed and cleaned prior to lubrication.
1. Clean the side surfaces of the chain with
a dr y cloth. Do not brush the rubber
O-rings. Brushing will damage them. Use
of a solvent may also damage the O-rings.
2. Inspect the drive chain for possible wear
or damage. Replace any chain that has
damaged rollers, loose fitting links, or
otherwise appears unserviceable.
Replacement chain:

Never use petrol or low flash point solvents
for cleaning the drive chain. A fire or explosion
could result.

wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
