Lubricating The Drive Chain - Ducati SPORTCLASSIC SPORT 1000 Use And Maintenance Manual

Lubricating the drive chain

The chain fitted on your motorcycle has O-rings to protect its
moving parts from dirt, and to hold the lubricant inside.
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
E
Advance Teflon Chain.
Important
Using non-specific lubricants may cause severe
damage to the chain and the front and rear sprockets.
