Cleaning and lubricating the

The drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-

The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle, riding
in the rain or riding in wet areas.
1. Remove all dirt and mud from the
drive chain with a brush or cloth.
TIP
For a thorough cleaning, have a
Yamaha dealer remove the drive chain
and soak it in solvent.

Lube or a high-quality spray-type
drive chain lubricant on the entire
chain, making sure that all side
plates and rollers have been suffi-
ciently oiled.
