Cleaning and lubricating the

lubricated at the intervals specified in

The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle, riding
in the rain or riding in wet areas.
1. Remove all dirt and mud from the
drive chain with a brush or cloth.
TIP
For a thorough cleaning, have a
Yamaha dealer remove the drive chain
and soak it in solvent.

the entire chain, making sure that
all side plates and rollers have
been sufficiently oiled.
