NOTICE
Use of a new chain with worn sprockets will cause rapid
chain wear.

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 a
lubricant designed specifically for use on O-ring
chains.
Recommended lubricant:
Pro Honda HP Chain Lube or equivalent
chain lube
48
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 tires.
Avoid applying excess chain lubricant to prevent
spray onto your clothes and the motorcycle.
