Maintenance Fundamentals
Drive Chain
The drive chain must be inspected and
lubricated regularly. Inspect the chain more
frequently if you often ride on bad roads, ride at
high speed, or ride with repeated fast
acceleration.

If the chain does not move smoothly, makes
strange noises, has damaged rollers, has loose
pins, or has kinks, have the chain inspected by
your dealer.
Also inspect the drive sprocket and driven
sprocket. If either has worn or damaged teeth,
have the sprocket replaced by your dealer.
