Cleaning and Lubricating
After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and
sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use a
dry cloth with chain cleaner designed
specifically for O-ring chains, or neutral
detergent. Use a soft brush if the chain is dirty.
After cleaning, wipe dry and lubricate with the
recommended lubricant.
Do not use a steam cleaner, a high pressure
cleaner, a wire brush, volatile solvent such as
petrol and benzene, abrasive cleaner, chain
cleaner or lubricant NOT designed specifically
for O-ring chains as these can damage the
rubber O-ring seals.
Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres.
Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent
spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.
Use only genuine HONDA PRE-MIX COOLANT
without diluting with water. Genuine HONDA
PRE-MIX COOLANT is excellent at preventing
corrosion and overheating.
The coolant should be inspected and replaced
properly by following the maintenance
schedule.
