IMPORTANT NOTICE
This motorbike is fi tted with a transmission chain complete
with small rubber O-rings (B) Fig. E, inserted between one
side plate and another.
To clean the transmission chain, do not use high-pressure
jets of water or air, do not use steam, petrol, aggressive sol-
vents (such as petroleum petrol), or brushes with overly stiff
bristles.
Using high-pressure items could force dirt into the cavities
inside the transmission chain, while solvents could cause
the O-rings to deteriorate.
The O-rings could also be damaged by the use of brushes of
overly stiff bristles.
Therefore, we recommend exclusive use of white oil to clean
the transmission chain.
Check:
• The O-rings (B)
In the event of damage, replace the transmission chain.
• The transmission chain rollers (D)
In the event of damage/wear, replace the transmission chain.
• The side plates of the transmission chain (C)
In the event of damage/wear, replace the transmission chain.
If there are any cracks, replace the transmission chain and
make sure that the bleeder pipe from the battery is correct and
suffi ciently distant from the transmission chain and below the
swinging arm.
Lubricate:
• The transmission chain
NOTE:__________________________________________
Use specifi c grease

If more than 1/4 of each tooth (4) is worn Fig. F, replace the
