DRIVE CHAIN
Proper lubrication and adjustment of drive chain gives
long service life of the chain. Poor maintenance of
the chain causes premature wear or damage to the
drive chain and sprockets. Poor chain maintenance
also affects mileage of the vehicle.
The drive chain must be cleaned, checked, lubricated
and adjusted at specified intervals mentioned in the
maintenance schedule.
Even though the chain is cleaned, lubricated and
adjusted during regular service by the Dealers,
the user must clean the chain with TRU SPRAY
Chain Cleaner and lubricate using TRU SPRAY
Chain Lube as frequently as every 500 km for
better chain life and smooth vehicle running.
Check, clean and lubricate the drive chain in the
following manner:
1. Place the vehicle on centre stand with the
transmission in neutral.
2. Clean the chain in the as explained below:
• Turn OFF the engine.

bottle well.

Riding with improperly adjusted chain / high slackness
