The following materials are necessary:
A. Lightweight oil such as WD-40 or penetrating oil
B. Aerosol type Chain Lube
C. SUZUKI SUPER GREASE "A" (or equivalent grease) or Water-proof wheel bearing grease
Follow the schedule closely. The disassembly necessary to lubricate many components is in itself valuable
preventative maintenance. It allows you to inspect for wear, fatigue, adjustment and fastener tightness and it
allows you to clean out the grit which otherwise cannot be gotten out.
