If you have been riding in extremely muddy or dusty conditions, the drive chain should be removed and
cleaned before you apply lubricant. Follow the procedure below to remove and clean or replace the drive
chain with a new one.
1. Remove the master link retaining clip with needle
nose pliers. Do not bend or twist the clip. Remove the
master link and remove the drive chain.
2. Clean the drive chain with a non-flammable solvent such
as kerosene - NOT gasoline – and allow it to dry.
3. Inspect the drive chain for possible wear or damage.
Replace the drive chain if it has any damaged rollers,
loose fitting links, or otherwise appear unserviceable.
4. Inspect the sprockets for wear or damage. Xmotos
recommends that you replace the sprockets when you
install a new drive chain.
5. Pass the chain over the sprockets and join the ends of the chain with the master link. For ease of assembly,
hold the chain ends against adjacent rear sprocket teeth while inserting the master link. Install the master
link retaining clip so that the closed end of the retaining clip will face the direction of forward wheel
rotation.
6. Lubricate the chain.
The master link is the most critical element of drive chain security. Master links are reusable, as long as they
are in excellent condition. We recommend installing a new master link when you install a new drive chain.
You may find it easier to install a new chain by connecting it to the old chain using a master link and pulling
the old chain to position the new chain on the sprockets.
To clean the motorcycle you can use any of the following: water, mild neutral detergents, mild spray and
wipe cleaner, mild spray and rinse cleaner/degreaser. Avoid products that contain harsh detergents or
chemical solvents that can damage the metal, paint and plastic on your motorcycle.
We recommend that you use a garden hose to wash your motorcycle. High pressure washers (like coin
operated car washers) can damage certain parts of the motorcycle. If you must use a high pressure washer,
avoid spraying the following areas: Wheel hubs, muffler outlet, underneath the seat, engine stop switch,
underneath the gas tank, drive chain and carburetor.
HIGH PRESSURE WATER OR AIR CAN DAMAGE CERTAIN
PARTS OF THE MOTORCYCLE. NEVER WAS THE
MOTORCYCLE WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. ALWAYS
LUBRICATE THE DRIVE CHAIN AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED
WASHING AND THE MOTORCYCLE IS DRY.
