Warning
E
Correct tightening of screws (1, fig. 153) is critical to
rider and passenger safety.
Important
Improper chain tension will lead to early wear of
transmission parts.

Chain lubrication

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.
