PRIMARY DRIVE OIL:
Use a high-grade primary drive
lubricant designed for a wet clutch.
CHECKING PRIMARY DRIVE LUBRICANT LEVEL:
Position the motorcycle upright and level. Remove screws
and washers that secure the inspection cover. Remove
inspection cover. Primary lubricant should be at the bottom
of the clutch diaphragm spring. This is indicated by lowest
starter ring gear teeth being submerged in oil. Add
lubricant as required.
Replace the O-rings if they are damaged or not sealing
properly to avoid lubricant leaking. Replace the inspection
cover and secure with screws and new washers.
CHANGING PRIMARY DRIVE LUBRICANT:
Primary lubricant should be changed initially at 500 miles
and every 5000 miles thereafter. The drain plug is located
under the clutch, on the underside of the primary. The
filler access is the tensioner inspection cover. To change
the primary lubricant and to determine correct lubrication
level in the primary turn the engine off and proceed as
follows:
NOTE:
Replace O-rings each time primary lubricant is
changed.
1.
Remove the primary tensioner inspection cover
screws, cover and drain plug allowing the lubricant
to drain. Inspect and clean the magnetic drain
plug. Install the drain plug and tighten to 10 ft lbs
torque. Do not over tighten. Add approximately
48 oz of lubricant until it reaches the first ledge of
the inter-primary or the middle of the clutch
diaphragm spring. Replace the inspection cover and
tighten cover screws.
2.
When draining or refilling with lubricant, do not
allow dirt or debris to enter the primary. Do not
allow lubricant to get on rear wheel, tire or brake
components.
PRIMARY DRIVE CHAIN INSPECTION:
The primary
drive chain adjustment should be checked initially at 500
miles and every 2500 miles thereafter. A loose primary chain
may cause the motorcycle to “jerk” at low speeds and lead to
excessive wear of the chain and sprockets. See an Authorized
Dealer or Service Center for proper adjustment.
