• Let the spray dry for about five minutes.
• To remove stubborn dirt, scrub the rollers
and side plates with soft nylon brush.
• Apply SAE 90 grade oil on the hanger side
of the entire length of the chain using an oil
can.
• Wait for 7-10 minutes for penetration of
lubricant inside the bush and roller wipe the
excessive lubricant from the chain and near
by parts using a clean rag.
• Rotate the rear wheel backwards to expose
the next section of the drive chain and
repeat second step until all of the drive chain
is cleaned.
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
•
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.
•
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.
(Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” on page
42).
DRIVE CHAIN SLIDER INSPECTION
Check the chain slider (1) for wear, The chain
slider must be replaced if wear limit is reached.
For replacement, see your Authorised Hero
MotoCorp workshop.
CAUTION
!!
• Clean and lubricate the chain, whenever
possible, after riding the vehicle under rain
or in terrain with excessive dust, mud or
sand.
• Steam cleaning, high pressure washers and
certain solvents can damage the drive chain
O-rings.
• 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.
