CAUTION:
This motorcycle has a drive chain with
small rubber O-rings 1 between the
drive chain side plates. Never use high-
pressure water or air, steam, gasoline,
certain solvents (e.g., benzine), or a
coarse brush to clean the drive chain.
High-pressure methods could force dirt
or water into the drive chain's internals,
and solvents will deteriorate the O-rings.
A coarse brush can also damage the O-
rings. Therefore, use only kerosine to
clean the drive chain.
