Brake - Suzuki DL650 Service Manual

2-22 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND LUBRICATING
Wash the chain with kerosene. If the chain tends to rust
quickly, the intervals must be shortened.
Do not use trichlene, gasoline or any similar fluids:
These fluids have too great a dissolving power for this
chain and, what is more important, they can damage
the "0"-rings (or seals) confining the grease in the
bush to pin clearance. Remember, high durability
comes from the presence of grease in that clearance.
After washing and drying the chain, oil it with a heavy-weight
motor oil.

Do not use any oil sold commercially as "drive chain
oil". Such oil can damage the "On-rings (or seals).

The standard drive chain is DID525V8. SUZUKl rec-
ommends that this standard drive chain should be
used for the replacement.
