Chain maintenance
The maintenance of the X-ring chain is reduced to a minimum. Clean with a
soft water jet. Never use a brush or solvent to clean the chain. When the
chain is dry use a chain spray specially made for X-ring chains (Motorex
Chainlube 622).

.
Also check sprockets and chain guides for wear, and replace if necessary.
Checking the chain for wear
To check the chain for wear proceed as follows:
Switch the transmission to idle and put a load of approx. 15 kilograms
(33 lbs) on the lower part of the chain (see illustration). Now measure the
distance between 18 chain rollers on the upper part of the chain. The chain
needs to be replaced when the distance is 272 mm (10.70 in). Since chains
do not always wear evenly, repeat the measurement at different parts of
the chain.
Replace the chain if any X-rings are missing.
NOTE:
If you mount a new chain, the sprockets should also be replaced. New
chains wear faster if used on old used sprockets.
