CAUTION: Do not over tighten the chain.
Excessive chain tension will overload the
engine and other vital parts; keep the ten-
sion within the specified limits. Also,
replace the rear axle cotter pin with a new
one.
Drive chain lubrication
The chain consists of many moving parts. If
the chain is not maintained properly, it will
wear out rapidly. Without lubrication the
chain could wear out very quickly. Therefore,
form the habit of periodically servicing the
chain. This service is especially necessary
when riding in dusty conditions.
1.
Use YAMAHA CHAIN/CABLE LUBE or
any of the many brands of spray type
chain lubricant. First, remove dirt and
mud from the chain with a brush or cloth
and then spray the lubricant between
both rows of side plates and on all center
rollers. This should be performed every
400 km. (250 mi.) or whenever the chain
becomes dry.
2. To clean the entire chain, first remove the
chain from the motorcycle, dip it in
solvent and clean out as much dirt as
possible. Then take the chain out of the
solvent and dry it. After drying, lubricate
the chain to prevent the formation of
rust.
