Drive Chain Free Movement Inspection - Triumph Tiger 850 Sport 2020 Owner's Handbook Manual

Maintenance
To lubricate the drive chain:
• Use the special
lubricant as recommended in the
Specifications 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 lubricant to penetrate to
the drive chain O-rings etc.
• Before riding, wipe off any excess
lubricant.
• If the drive chain is especially dirty,
clean first and then apply lubricant
as mentioned above.
Do not use a pressure washer to
clean the drive chain as this may
cause damage to the drive chain
components.
