PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Drive chain lubrication

The chain consists of many parts
which work with each other. If the
chain is not maintained properly, it
will wear out quickly. Therefore,
the chain must be serviced regular-
ly. This service is especially neces-
sary when riding in dusty areas.
The drive chain should be lubri-
cated every 500 km. First, remove
all dirt and mud from the chain
with a brush or cloth. Then, spray
any of the many brands of spray-
type chain lubricant between
both rows of side plates and on
EW000103 all center rollers.
To clean the chain thoroughly,
remove it from the motorcycle,
dip it in solvent, and clean out as
much dirt as possible. Then, take
the chain out of the solvent to
dry it, and immediately lubricate
it to prevent it from rusting.
