LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain consists of many interacting
parts. If the drive chain is not maintained proper-
ly, it will wear out quickly. Therefore, the drive
chain should be serviced, especially when the
motorcycle is used in dusty areas. Use only ker-
osene to clean the drive chain. Wipe the drive
chain dry and thoroughly lubricate it with engine
oil or chain lubricant that is suitable for non-O-
ring chains.
