CHASSIS LUBRICATION

Do not switch lubricant brands indiscriminately be-
cause some lubricants interact chemically when
mixed. Use of inferior lubricants can damage the en-
gine.
1. The steering head bearings are sealed, angular con-
tact bearings and do not require additional lubrica-
tion. Check for smooth range of movement and
proper operation.
2. Front and rear wheel bearings are sealed and do not
require additional lubrication. Check at every tire
change (more often in adverse conditions) or yearly
if operated under winter conditions. Replace bearing
spacers if they show any wear or distortion.
3. Inspect throttle control grip, throttle control cables,
brake controls, clutch controls, fuel filler cap, igni-
tion switch and sidestand every 6200 miles (10,000
km). Check for a smooth range of movement and
proper operation. See an EBR Dealer for service as
required.

4. Rear swingarm pivot bearings are sealed and do not
require additional lubrication. Check for smooth
range of movement and proper operation. See an
EBR Dealer for service as required.
NOTE
Lubricate all control connections and parts regularly.
Pay particular attention to lubrication needs after
washing motorcycle or driving in wet weather.
Do not use pressure washers to clean wheel bearings,
sprocket bearings, steering head bearings and
swingarm pivot bearings. Doing so can result in
equipment damage.
