Drive Chain Inspection
The drive chain slack and lubrication must be checked daily before riding in accordance with the Periodic
Maintenance Chart for safety and preventing excessive wear� If the chain becomes badly worn or
maladjusted, it will lead excessive component wear and possible failure�
If the chain is too tight, will accelerate the wear for chain, sprocket, rear sprocket and rear rim� Some parts
may crack or break when placed under a load�
If the chain is too loose, The chain may fall o from sprocket or rear sprocket, which may cause locking of
rear wheel or engine damage�
The service life of the drive chain largely depends on the maintenance�
Chain dirt inspection
Inspect periodically or inspect the chain for dirt ingress, or after driving in severe conditions�
If the chain is dirty, ush any large dirt particles with a soft jet of water. Clean any residual dirt and residual
lubricant with a proper chain cleaner�
Spray the chain with a proper chain lubricant after the chain is dry�
WARNING
When spraying chain lubricant, do not splash the lubricant onto other parts� Lubricant on the tires will
decrease the tire grip, and lubricant on the brake discs will decrease the brake performance� Clean these
components with a proper cleaner if over-spray occurs�
