Cleaning and lubricating the
drive chain
The drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart, otherwise it will quickly wear
out, especially when riding in dusty or
wet areas. Service the drive chain as
follows.
NOTICE
The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle, riding
in the rain or riding in wet areas.
1. Clean the drive chain with a drive
chain cleaner and a small soft
brush. NOTICE: To prevent dam-
aging the O-rings, do not clean
the drive chain with steam
cleaners, high-pressure wash-
ers
or
inappropriate
vents.
