Lubricating The Drive Chain - Ducati SUPERBIKE 1198 Owner's Manual

Lubricating the drive chain

The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings that keep
dirt out of and lubricant inside the sliding parts.
So as not to damage these seals when cleaning the chain,
use special solvents and avoid aggressive washing with
high-pressure steam cleaners.
After cleaning, blow the chain dry with compressed air or
wipe with an absorbent material, then lubricate each link
with SHELL Advance Chain or Advance Teflon Chain.
Important
Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe
damage to the chain and the front and rear sprocket.
