CHECKING CHAIN AND SPROCKETS FOR WEAR
Check that the chain does not have damaged rollers, loose
pins or dry, rusty links and is not excessively worn.
Check that the front and/or rear sprocket are not exces-
sively worn and do not have missing teeth.
If replaced, the sprockets and chain must be replaced at
the same time.
LUBRICATING THE CHAIN
Lubricate the chain following these instructions.
CAUTION*:
Never use grease to lubricate the chain.
Grease helps to accumulate dust and
mud, which act as abrasive and help
to rapidly wear out the chain, the front
and rear sprockets.
CAUTION*:
Do not wash the chain with high-pres
-
sure water jets and do not use harsh or
highly flammable solvents.
- After washing the chain using special detergent, dry it
and lubricate with suitable spray grease.
CAUTION*:
The chain lubricant must NOT come into
contact with the tyres or the rear brake
disc.
TYRES
Care should be taken to keep the tyres properly inflated.
See "Technical data" chart at the beginning of the manu-
al for correct tyre inflation pressure.
Tyre pressure must be measured when the tyres are cold.
Warm tyres will give an incorrect reading.
WARNING*:
The correct pressure and correct state of
the tyres not only enhances riding com
-
fort but also avoids loss of grip on the
road with loss of balance and possible
falls.
If tyres are old but not completely worn,
they must be replaced because they
harden and do not guarantee the cor
-
rect grip.
