Lubricating The Drive Chain - Ducati MULTISTRADA 1100 S Use And Maintenance 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.
