• Wait for 7-10 minutes for penetration of
lubricant inside the bush and roller wipe the
excessive lubricant from the chain and
nearby parts using a clean rag.
• Apply SAE 90 grade oil on the hanger side of
the entire length of the chain using an oil can.
Excessive lubricant if not wiped off, will aid in
accumulation of dust, sand and dirt on the drive
chain, increasing its wear and will also be
sprayed on the vehicle as well due to chain
movement.
NOTE
CAUTION
!!
• The drive chain is fitted with O-rings
between the link plates. These O-rings
retain grease inside the chain to improve its
service life. However, special precautions
must be taken when adjusting, lubricating,
washing and replacing the chain.
• Clean and lubricate the chain, whenever
possible, after riding the vehicle under rain or
in terrain with excessive dust, mud or sand.
• While lubricating and cleaning hold the rear
wheel with one hand to prevent the
possibility of your finger being trapped
between the chain and sprocket.
• If the chain is excessively dirty, it should be
removed and cleaned before lubrication. For
your own safety, we recommend that service
be performed by an Authorised Hero
MotoCorp workshop.
• Steam cleaning, high pressure washers and
certain solvents can damage the drive chain
O-rings.
