Drive Chain Lubrication; Drive Chain Free-Movement Inspection - Triumph Street Triple S Owner's Handbook Manual

Drive Chain Lubrication

Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles
(300 km) and also after riding in wet
weather, on wet roads, or any time that
the chain appears dry.
Use the special chain lubricant as
recommended in
section.
Apply lubricant to the sides of the
rollers then allow the motorcycle to
stand unused for at least eight hours
(overnight is ideal). This will allow the oil
to penetrate to the chain O-rings etc.
Before riding, wipe off any excess oil.
If the chain is especially dirty, clean first
and then apply oil as mentioned above.
Caution
Do not use a pressure washer to clean
the chain as this may cause damage to
the chain components.
