❙ Cleaning and Lubricating
After inspecting the slack, clean the chain and
sprockets while rotating the rear wheel. Use
dry cloth with chain cleaner designed
specifically for O-ring chains, or neutral
detergent. Use a soft brush if the chain is dirty.
After cleaning, wipe dry and lubricate with
the recommended lubricant. If not available,
use SAE 80 or 90 gear oil.

Maintenance Fundamentals
Do not use a steam cleaner, a high pressure
cleaner, a wire brush, volatile solvent such as
gasoline and benzene, abrasive cleaner, chain
cleaner or lubricant NOT designed specifically
for O-ring chains as these can damage the
rubber O-ring seals.
Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres.
Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to
prevent spray onto your clothes and the
motorcycle.
Recommended Coolant
Pro Honda HP is a pre-mixed solution of
antifreeze and distilled water.
