LUBRICATING THE CHAIN
Lubricate the chain (4) following these instructions.
CAUTION*: Never use grease to lubricate the
chain. Grease helps to accumulate dust and
mud, which act as abrasive and help to rapidly
wear out the chain, the front and rear sprock-
ets.
Washing the chain with O-rings
Was using specific sprays for chains with OR
rings;do not use fuel, trichlorethylene or solvents so
as not to damage the OR rings.
Alternatively, was using petroleum, naphta or liquid
paraffin.
Lubricating the chain with O-rings
Using specific sprays with the aid of a brush, lubri-
cate the metal and rubber parts (OR) both internally
and externally; alternatively use engine oil with SAE
80-90 viscosity.
CAUTION*: The chain lubricant shall NEVER get
in contact with the tyres or the rear brake
disc.
Chain guide roller, chain guide eye, chain
slider
Check the wear of the above-mentioned elements
and replace them when necessary.
CAUTION*: Check the chain guide alignment,
and remember that a bent element can cause
chain early wear. In this case, chain might un-
wrap from the sprocket.
