FRAME/TRANSMISSION CHAIN
LUBRICATION OF TRANSMISSION CHAIN
Introduction
The transmission chain consists of several parts that interact
with each other.
The chain must be properly maintained to prevent its early wear.
Therefore, it is advisable to maintain the transmission chain,
especially if it is used in very dusty areas.
This motorcycle is fi tted with a transmission chain complete
with small rubber O-rings inserted between one side plate and
another.
Do not use steam jets, high-pressure water jets, aggressive
solvents or brushes with too rough bristles to prevent damaging
these O-rings.
Therefore, we recommend exclusive use of recommended prod-
ucts to clean the transmission chain.
Wipe the chain and lubricate it thoroughly using engine oil or
specifi c lubricant for chains with O-rings.
Do not use other kinds of lubricants on the transmission chain as
they might contain solvents that would damage the O-rings.
Apply:
• A thin and smooth layer of lubricant on the whole chain, be-
ing careful not to reach the surrounding parts, especially the
tyres.
