Drive Chain Lubrication
Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles
(300 km) and also after riding in wet
weather, on wet roads, or any time that
the chain appears dry.
To lubricate the drive chain:
▼ Use the special drive chain lubricant
as
recommended in the
Specifications section.
▼ Apply lubricant to the sides of the
rollers then allow the motorcycle to
stand unused for at least eight
hours (overnight is ideal). This will
allow the lubricant to penetrate to
the drive chain O-rings etc.
▼ Before riding, wipe off any excess
lubricant.
▼ If the drive chain is especially dirty,
clean first and then apply lubricant
as mentioned above.
Caution
Do not use a pressure washer to clean
the drive chain as this may cause
damage
to the drive chain
components.
Drive Chain Free Movement
Inspection
Warning
Before starting work, make sure the
motorcycle
is stabilized and
adequately supported.
This will help prevent injury to the
operator or damage to the motorcycle.

1. Maximum movement position
To inspect the drive chain free
movement:
▼ Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position with no weight on it.
▼
Rotate the rear wheel by pushing the
motorcycle to find the position where
the chain is tightest, and measure
the vertical movement of the chain
midway between the sprockets.
▼ The vertical movement of the drive
chain must be in the range of 0.79 to
1.18 in (20
- 30 mm).
