LUBRICATING THE CHAIN
Lubricate the chain following these instructions.
CAUTION*: Never use grease to lubricate
the chain. Grease helps to accumulate
dust and mud, which act as abrasive
and help to rapidly wear out the chain,
the front and rear sprockets.
Washing the chain
Wash with petroleum. If you use fuel or especially trichlo-
roethylene, dry and lubricate the chain to avoid oxidisa-
tion.
Lubricating the chain
Using a brush, lubricate in Molybdenum Disulphide chain
lubricant or in warm high-viscosity engine oil (if warmed
up, oil will be more fluid).
CAUTION*: The chain lubricant shall NEV -
ER get in contact with the tyres or the
rear brake disc.
Chain guide roller, chain guide eye,
chain slider
Check the wear of the above-mentioned elements and
replace them when necessary.
CAUTION*: Check the chain guide align -
ment, and remember that a bent ele -
ment can cause chain early wear. In
this case, chain might unwrap from the
sprocket.
