Cleaning and lubricating the
drive chain
The drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart, otherwise it will quickly wear
out, especially when riding in dusty or
wet areas. Service the drive chain as
follows.
CAUTION:
The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle and
riding in the rain.
1. Remove all dirt and mud from the
drive chain with a brush or cloth.
NOTE:
For a thorough cleaning, have a
Yamaha dealer remove the drive chain
and soak it in solvent.
2. Spray Yamaha Chain and Cable
Lube or a high-quality spray-type
drive chain lubricant on both sides
and on the middle of the chain,
making sure that all side plates
and rollers have been sufficiently
6-18
EAU23013 oiled.
