Drive Chain Slider - Honda XR250 Tornado 2016 Owner's Manual

XR250 TORNADO
Lubrication and Cleaning
Lubricate every 1,000 km (600 miles) or sooner if
chain appears dry.
The drive chain on this motorcycle is equipped
with small O-rings between the link plates. These
O-rings retain grease inside the chain to improve
its service life.
The O-rings in this chain can be damaged by
steam cleaning, high pressure washers, and certain
solvents. Clean the side surfaces of the chain with a
dry cloth. Do not brush the rubber O-rings. Brushing
will damage them. Wipe dry and lubricate only with
SAE 80 or 90 gear oil. Commercial chain lubricants
may contain solvents which could damage the rubber
O-rings.
