WARNING
DRIVE CHAIN LUBRICATION
The chain consists of many parts that work with
each other. If the chain is not maintained properly,
it will wear out rapidly.
Therefore, form the habit of periodically servicing
the chain. This service is especially necessary
when riding in dusty conditions.
This motorcycle has a drive chain with small rub-
ber O-rings between the chain plates. Steam
cleaning, high-pressure washes, and certain sol-
vents can damage these O-rings. Use only kero-
sene to clean the drive chain. Wipe dry, and thor-
oughly lubricate it with SAE30
50W motor oil.
Do not use any other lubricants on the drive chain.
They may contain solvents that could damage the
O-rings.
Recommended lubricant:
SAE30
50W motor oil or chain
lubricant suitable for O-ring
chains.
STEERING HEAD INSPECTION

no danger of it falling over.

2. Elevate the front wheel by placing a suitable
stand under the engine.
3. Check:
Steering assembly bearings
Grasp the bottom of the front forks and gently
rock the fork assembly back and forth.
