Inspecting the Drive Chain
When inspecting the chain, look for
the following:
• Loose pins
• Damaged rollers
• Dry or rusted links
• Kinked or binding links
• Excessive wear
If you find anything wrong with the
drive chain condition, correct the
problem if you know how. If neces-
sary, consult your authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
Damage to the drive chain means
that the sprockets may also be dam-
aged. Inspect the sprockets for the
following:
• Excessively worn teeth
• Broken or damaged teeth
• Loose sprocket mounting nut(s)
If you find any of these problems with
your sprocket, consult your SUZUKI
dealer.
DRIVE CHAIN CLEANING AND
OILING
Clean and oil the chain as follows:
1. Wash the chain with kerosene.
Kerosene will lubricate and clean
the chain.
2. Allow the chain to dry, then oil the
links with a Suzuki chain lube or
an equivalent chain lubricant.
WARNING
Kerosene can be hazardous.
Kerosene is flammable. Children
or pets may be harmed from con-
tact with kerosene.
Keep flames and smoking materi-
als away from kerosene. Keep
children and pets away from kero-
sene. Dispose of used kerosene
properly.
