Avoid getting lubricant on the brakes or tyres. Avoid
applying excess chain lubricant to prevent spray onto
your clothes and the motorcycle.

Cleaning
• Slowly rotate the rear wheel in driving direction
or wheel rotation direction and spray the
recommended cleaning spray.
• Leave the cleaning solvent to soak for few
minutes. Wipe off the solvent on the chain with a
dry, clean cloth thoroughly. Use a soft brush if the
chain is dirty.
Lubrication
• Ensure the chain is cleaned thoroughly and the
solvent is wiped off completely.
• Slowly rotate the rear wheel in driving direction
or wheel rotation direction. Apply recommended
spray liberally as shown to the drive chain inner
lower runs (ref. Fig. 59).
• Ensure both the row links are lubricated.
The chain fitted on your motorcycle has X-Rings to
protect the moving parts of chain from dirt, and to hold
the lubricant inside. If the chain is cleaned using any
solvent other than those specific for X-ring chains or
washed using steam or water cleaners or a wire brush or
an abrasive cleaner, the X-ring seals might be damaged
irreparably.
Use only MOTUL C2 spray to lubricate the chain. Using
non-specific lubricants may cause severe damage to the
chain and the front and rear sprocket.
