Drive Chain Cleaning and
Oiling
Clean and oil the chain as follows:
1. Wash the chain with kerosene.
Kerosene will lubricate and
clean the chain.

WARNING
Improperly installing a replace-
ment chain, or using a joint-clip
type chain, can be hazardous.
An incompletely riveted master
link, or a joint-clip type master
link, may come apart and
cause an accident or severe
engine damage.
Do not use a joint-clip type
chain. Chain replacement
requires a special riveting tool
and a high-quality, non-joint-
clip type chain. Ask an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer or a quali-
fied mechanic to perform this
work.

WARNING
Kerosene can be hazardous.
Kerosene is flammable. Chil-
dren or pets may be harmed
from contact with kerosene.
Keep flames and smoking
materials away from kerosene.
Keep children and pets away
from kerosene. If swallowed,
do not induce vomiting. Call
physician immediately. Dis-
pose of used kerosene prop-
erly.
CAUTION
Cleaning the chain with gaso-
line or commercial cleaning
solvents can damage O-rings
and ruin the chain.
Clean the drive chain with kero-
sene only.
