PRIMARY CHAIN
GENERAL
An opening between the primary drive and transmission com-
partments allows the same lubricant supply to lubricate mov-
ing parts in both compartments.
Since the primary chain runs in lubricant, little service will be
required other than checking lubricant level and chain ten-
sion. If, through hard usage, the primary chain does become
worn, it must be replaced. Remove and install the chain fol-
lowing the procedure under
ADJUSTMENT/LUBRICATION
See 1.13 PRIMARY CHAIN
procedures.
See 1.10 CLUTCH for complete lubrication service on the pri-
mary chain.
