toward you to expose the bearing and grease fitting. Inject
grease into the grease fitting in the flangette until grease
purges from the inside or outside of the bearing seal (may
take only two pumps). Push the clutch back onto the shaft
and replace the clutch retaining bolt. Torque the retaining
bolt to 18 ft-lbs (24.4 Nm).
Driveshaft Bearing

engine off, turn the handlebars to the left and lubricate well
as shown.
Choke And Choke Cable

grease. Before turning the engine off, operate the choke
intermittently to draw moisture out of the choke plunger

frozen.
