DRIVING CHAIN CHECK, ADJUSTMENT AND LUBRICATION
[Driving Chain Check]
Check for wear of the D rive Chain. Lubricate it when it is lacking oil. Use a lift stand to raise
the Rear Wheel off the ground so that it can be spun by hand freely. Ensure that the motorcycle
is secure and can’t fall from the stand. Move the Gearshift Pedal to the neutral gear position.
Place your finger midway between the front and rear sprockets and lift the Drive Chain up and
down. There should be between 10 to 15 mm of vertical movement in the chain.
NOTE: When installing the Driving Chain Lock Click, keep the mouth of the Clip opposite
to the normal moving direction of the chain.
[Driving Chain Adjustment]
If the Drive Chain requires adjustment,
loosen the nut of the rear Wheel Axle and
then loosen the outer Lock Nut on the Chain
Tensioner. Tighten the inner Adjusting Nut
on the Chain Tensioner in order to pull more
tension and tighten the chain. Alternatively,
loosen the inner Adjusting Nut to remove
tension form the Chain. When you have the
correct tension on the chain, tighten outer
Lock Nut. Ensure that there is equal tension
of both the left and right Chain Tensioners.
When you have achieved the correct chain
tension, re-tighten the rear Wheel Axle Nut.
[Driving Chain Lubrication]
Remover the Chain Lock Clip (1) with pliers, remove the chain master link and disconnect the
chain. Remove the chain from the motorcycle and clean the chain in detergent solvent. Dry the
chain and inspect it carefully for wear and or damage and if necessary, replace the chain.
Lubricate the chain with an appropriate amount of motor oil or chain lubricating oil. Re-install
the drive chain and adjust to the correct tension.
FRONT DISC BRAKE and BRAKE FLUID
[Brake Fluid]
Pay attention to the fluid level in the Brake
Fluid Reservoir on the right side of the
Handlebars. Due to a natural slow
deterioration of the brake fluid and Brake Disc
wear, the level of brake fluid in the reservoir will
slowly descend.
Regularly check the level of the brake fluid in
the Level Indicator Glass and add fluid if
necessary. Use ONLY DOT 4 Brake Fluids. This
should be checked regularly and is a very
important part of the motorcycle maintenance.
