Lubrication Of The Drive Chain - Ducati MONSTER S2R 1000 Use And Maintenance Manual

Lubrication of 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 sprockets.
