Drive Chain
Removal, Cleaning & Replacement
Refer to Saf ety Precautions
Your ATV has an endless (riveted master link) type chain. It should only
be removed or replaced by your Honda dealer.
The O-rings can be damaged by steam cleaning, high pressure washers,
and certain solvents.
1. Clean the side surfaces of the chain with a dry cloth. Use a high
flashpoint solvent such as kerosene
Do not brush the rubber O-rings.
Brushing will damage them. Use of a solvent may also damage the
O-rings.
2. Inspect the drive chain for possible wear or damage.
Replace the drive chain if it has damaged rollers, loose fitting links,
damaged O-rings, or otherwise appears unserviceable.
