Drive chain lubrication

The chain consists of many parts
EW000103
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.

1. The drive chain should be
lubricated 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 all center
rollers.
2. 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 sol-
vent to dry it, and immediately
lubricate it to prevent it from
rusting.
