Maintenance and Adjustment
Chain Lubrication
Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles
(300 kms) and also after riding in wet
weather, on wet roads, or any time that the
chain appears dry.
Use the special chain lubricant as
recommended in the Specification section.
Apply lubricant to the sides of the rollers then
allow the motorcycle to stand unused for at
least 8 hours (overnight is ideal). This will
allow the oil to penetrate to the chain O-rings
etc.
Before riding, wipe off any excess oil.
If the chain is especially dirty, clean first and
then apply oil as mentioned above.
Chain Free-Movement Inspection
1. Maximum movement position
Place the motorcycle on a level surface and
hold it in an upright position with no weight
on it.
Rotate the rear wheel by pushing the
motorcycle to find the position where the
chain is tightest, and measure the vertical
movement of the chain midway between the
sprockets.
Caution
Do not use a pressure wash to clean the
chain as this may cause damage to the
chain components.
Warning
Before starting work, ensure the
motorcycle is stabilised and adequately
supported. This will help prevent injury to
the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
