Maintenance and Adjustment
Chain Lubrication
Lubrication is necessary every 200 miles and
also after riding in wet weather, on wet roads,
or any time that the chain appears dry.
Use the special chain lubricant as
recommended in the Specification section.
Apply lubricant to the sides of the rollers then
allow the motorcycle to stand unused for at
least 8 hours (overnight is ideal). This will
allow the oil to penetrate to the chain O-rings
etc.
Before riding, wipe off any excess oil.
If the chain is especially dirty, clean first and
then apply oil as mentioned above.
Chain Free-Movement Inspection
1. Maximum movement position
Park the motorcycle on the side stand.
Rotate the rear wheel to find the position
where the chain is tightest, and measure the
vertical movement of the chain midway
between the sprockets.
The vertical movement of the drive chain
must be in the range 35 - 40 mm.
Caution
Do not use a pressure wash to clean the
chain as this may cause damage to the
chain components.
Warning
Before starting work, ensure the
motorcycle is stabilised and adequately
supported. This will help prevent injury to
the operator or damage to the motorcycle.
