Lubrication and Cleaning
Lubricate every 1,000 km (600 miles) or sooner if
chain appears dry.
The drive chain on this motorcycle is equipped
with small O-rings between the link plates. These
O-rings retain grease inside the chain to improve
its service life.
The O-rings in this chain can be damaged by
steam cleaning, high pressure washers, and certain
solvents. Clean the side surfaces of the chain with a
dry cloth. Do not brush the rubber O-rings. Brushing
will damage them. Wipe dry and lubricate only
with SAE 80 or 90 gear oil. Commercial chain
lubricants may contain solvents which could damage
the rubber O-rings.
