Final Drive Mechanism
Checking Lubrication State of Drive Chain
●
If there is no special lubricant, the priority can be
given to the hea
vy oil (e.g.: SAE 90), not light oil,
because the heavy oil can be attached to the drive chain
for longer time with better lubrication effect.
●
If the drive chain looks dirty, it must be cleaned
before adding the lubricant.
●Appl
y the lubricant to both sides of chain roller to
make it penetrate into the chain roller and sleeve.
●Wipe off the redundant lubricant.

Checking Whether Drive Chain is Loose
Remark
○Support the motorcycle with a side stand to check
whether the drive chain is loose.
○Support the motorcycle with a bracket to check
whether the drive chain is loose.
○If there are stains on the drive chain, clean the
drive chain and then add lubricant after it is dry.
●Checking the wheel alignment (see “Checking Wheel
Alignment”).
●
Rotate the real wheel to find the position where the
drive chain is tightest.
●
Measure the swing from up to down (slackness of
drive chain) [A] of chains between front and rear
sprockets.
★If the slackness of drive chain exceeds the standard,
please adjust it!

Standard: 28 ∼35mm
